      Audience Member Dull and depressing. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I love when quirky people find each other. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Geweldige film als je van eten houd!! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Charlotte Roche (best known for her scandalous novel "Wedlands" and her amazing skills as an interviewer) is a waitress, who starts an awkward relationship with a cook. It is all about the delicious food for her, but soon becomes more for the cook. He starts to fall for her and hell breaks loose when her husband finds out. Sadly Charlotte's acting skills are not very brilliant, the story is predictable and boring and I couldn't believe that the dishes were terrific enough to cause all the troubles. This movie reminded me of Sebastian and his Spaghetti Bolognese-surpise for his girlfriend: <div style="width:120px;font-size:10px;text-align:center;"></div><a href="http://www.flixster.com/videos?videoId=11126747"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mFxSrZ7WE2I/2.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style="font-size:10px;width:120px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"> Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Yo quiero cocinar asi... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The tale of a strained marriage, a fat chef & his orgasmic food. Not your average rom-com.

      John Hartl Seattle Times As long as it's whimsically celebrating the ambiguous joys of cooking, writer-director Michael Hofmann's movie has charm and a sweetness verging on the tart. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 22, 2008 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian An amiable, but underpowered and sentimental film. Rated: 2/5 Mar 16, 2007 Full Review Tom Dawson BBC.com The solid performances from Ostendorf and Roche can't disguise the awkward tonal shifts contained in the final stretches of this sentimental story. Rated: 2/5 Mar 16, 2007 Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer Like Beauty and the Beast, Eden is a fairy tale about impossible love, but this beast, instead of a noble soul, has an insatiable appetite. Rated: B Feb 22, 2008 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij european-films.net Two touching performances only partially compensate for a weak script that never seems interested in challenging the superb Bella Martha (Mostly Martha). Apr 2, 2007 Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 A succulent yet chaste love story which leaves a pleasant enough taste, but you might not be inclined to tip. Rated: 3/5 Mar 16, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
