No Reservations is a "dramady"- a dramatic story with a few comedic touches, hence the make-believe genre. The movie, which is lightheartedly fun, handles itself well. It follows a temperamental cook named Kate, (Zeta-Jones) and her struggle to cope with loosing her sister in a car crash. Her sister is survived by her daughter Zoe (Breslin), so naturally Kate mothers her. Kate, being the controlling and bossy cook that she is, abuses her powers so her boss brings in a new cook, Nick (played by Eckhart). They fight, they get together, etc. It's cute, I assume, but not quite all that interesting. The best parts of the movie are the scenes in the kitchen of the restaurant, where all the drama and arguments are happening.
You'll enjoy No Reservations if you like the topic of food cooking and the struggles of raising a child. It's not quite my cup of tea, but I thought it was fine for what it was.
Good) Zeta-Jones does well, setting of restaurant is intriguing Bad) doesn't venture too far into the creative department, ending rushed
