celebrates female friendship, women w their own faces and bodies and shows starting over can be the best thing ever. A fun, light tonic for the winter blues that lives in goodwill and good food

3/5

This set-up may be a little clumsy, but lively ensemble performances and magnificent production design give the film has a lived-in feeling, a depth and richness which make its excesses much easier to accept.

Appelin’s approach follows the cookie cutter path blazed many times over while throwing in surprises that’ll keep audiences engaged from appetizer to the final course.

Of course they start up not liking each other but their bond grows as they cook together. That’s a very romantic concept and the 2 leads have lovely chemistry.

While this feel-good foodie romance features a predictable menu and a been-there, done-that premise, audiences aren’t served a reheated plate of lukewarm leftovers.

This superficial Swedish 'comedy'(?) never rises above the trite. Littered with relatively meandering situations, this moldy ole plot about so-called 'faithful' partners - celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary and discovering secrets about each other, flounders in the melting pot. The resolutions set up for this undercooked situation comedy are as overbaked and simplistic as both of the titles given to this relative time waster. Basically, it's a throwback to flippant 50s-style romantic tosh with added so-called 'modern' sex. It's mostly for the easily pleased (and from some of the advance 'press releases' there are a few of those) - Fans of the performers - or those wanting movie makers that tick all the trendy 'inclusive' boxes only. If you find matrimonial hypocrisy ultimately funny, then you might last the distance. Otherwise, this could even be watched at double speed, that is, if it has any real need to be watched at all. Watch 'Babette's Feast' again instead.
