Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is an extraordinarily talented and largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Kadam's impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.

Critics Consensus

Director Lasse Hallström does lovely work and Helen Mirren is always worth watching, but The Hundred-Foot Journey travels predictable ground already covered by countless feel-good dramedies.

Marit Risto F

I would have liked it better if the "French" were French. And that the Indians didn't speak English with each other. Anyway. A picturesque village in the south of France, and a lot of food and charm, makes it a pleasure to watch

Cory P

A movie that isn't really about food, but about national pride and culture. As a chef, the hardest part was accepting that an untrained young man could simply read a book about French cooking and create classical dishes in one go, impressing Michelin critics without much effort. Helen Mirrin is amazing.

Critics who complain that this movie has been done many times, and this is just another remake of a similar theme or critics, who have no taste at all. This is an excellent film. Full stop.

This movie is the reason I fell more in love with cooking with my soul and not with my eyes only.

It did a good job at pulling at the heartstrings right up until the last half hour when everything was already resolved and nothing was at stake anymore, and yet the film kept going for some reason?

Times (UK)

Mirren is drily funny, deploying an arsenal of MasterChef-style horrified reaction shots.

Mark Kermode

Observer (UK)

Puri is great fun as the indomitable head of the family, and Mirren convinces as the grand dame, despite dishing out her lines in an accent that staunchly refuses to set.

Rated: 3/5

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

The Hundred-Foot Journey is a culinary culture-clash comedy enlivened by fiery performances from Helen Mirren and Om Puri but which, like so many other Lasse Hallström films, slowly turns to gloop the longer it lasts.

Rated: 2/5

Epoch Times

How wrong can you go with a comedy about beautiful people making beautiful food in the south of France? And Helen Mirren? The woman can turn 105 and she'll still be alluring, even when she's being haughty. Lots of laughs.

Rated: 3.5/5

It's an enjoyable film about passion; the passion for food, passion for culture but most of all, passion for life.

Rated: 3/5

This isn't your usual summer fare, because it cares far too much about the people whose story it is telling and it takes the time to let you get to know them.
