Kate's (Catherine Zeta-Jones) entire life revolves around food. No, she doesn't eat it all day every day. She's the top chef at a high-end restaurant. Then her sister is killed in a car accident and Kate suddenly becomes the guardian of her little niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin). Suddenly her life becomes two-dimensional. Then she returns to the restaurant after a few days off and discovers the owner has hired a new sous chef in her absence. Handsome, easy-going Nick (Aaron Eckhart) is a breath of fresh air for the other chefs in the kitchen. Kate doesn't know it yet, but her life is about to become three-dimensional.
Pros: Nick is a funny, sweet guy. I'm a fan of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Abigail Breslin. It's a really laid-back movie - the main characters don't even have last names!Cons: This story has been told a hundred times. As is usual with a romantic comedy, the main characters are perfectly willing to move in together without getting married first. In fact, there's a scene with Kate and her therapist where he asks her point-blank "What's wrong with moving in together?" Her answer is not what the first response of a good Christian would be.
