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.

I love this movie. When I first saw it, I was not that into it. Then something wonderful happened over time. I gave it another chance and I fell in love with it in ways I cannot express. It has one of the most important lessons ever in it, that to be true to yourself, and have the faith and confidence to be who you are, and if you are good at something, to not hold back, but to excel and be all you can be. Even if that has a cost, being yourself is the best thing you can do in life! What a wonderful, and beautiful movie! This movie teaches me, that sometimes, first impressions are wrong! It is sweet and touching and REAL! If only people would stick things out to the better conclusions like these people do! I love all the characters, the Dad and Hassan, and Madame Mallory and Marguerite and all of the family! You get TWO romances, and you get the real love of food like few movies! And you get the celebration of being all you can be! Go Hassan! Get those stars!

A warm, light feeling. That’s the feeling you get after watching the film. Its plot may be predictable, but you can never go wrong with a story about food, passion, and family.

A boring, predictable story, with poorly written dialogue and lousy casting. Nope.

I enjoyed Helen Mirren's acting, and the young Indian boy was okay. His father was better. A nice rivalry movie of restaurants. The ending is not so great.
