"Secret Ingredient" should by rights be one of the most depressing films of the year. But instead, appropriately for a movie that deals, in its way, with miracles, it's one of the funniest, smartest and most endearing.

Although on the surface, this is a crime caper, the film works most satisfyingly as a study of the abrasive but loving relationship between father and son.

An accomplished and well-balanced combination of comedy and drama.

Eye for Film

For Stavreski, its character first and plot second while social commentary comes along for the ride, as he focuses on the dad and son relationship at the film's heart.

Rated: 4/5
