Critics Consensus

This romantic comedy may look good on paper, but it's too predictable and melancholy for the genre.

Behind The Lens

[A]lthough it looks good on the outside and is somewhat palatable, the ingredients never quite reach a boiling point and the end result is undercooked, lacking spice and rather bland.

Chalk it up as an alternative to watching a kitchen full of singing rats.

Filme bacana, gostei da dupla, mas parece que o filme tem muitos altos e baixos, e teve a cena da briga perto do final do filme, que ela achou que ele iria roubar o lugar dela no restaurante, mas no começo ele disse que poderia ir para qualquer lugar que quiser, pois ele recusou várias ofertas de empregos de outros restaurantes. Eu Recomendo esse filme.

When you see the cast and the idea you think this is a perfect match for a rom com, but this movie falls flat and doesn't have many laughs.
