Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a chef in a upscale restaurant who is a total control freak. Her life is turned upside down when her sister dies in a car accident and she becomes sole guardian of her eight year old niece (Abigail Breslin). A new sous chef (Aaron Eckhart) is hired to help her out at the restaurant. She is upset because she feels this is done behind her back. Through all of this she is seeing a psychiatrist, paid by her boss, to help her sensitive nature. When the psychiatrist asks why she is seeing him, she replies "I don't know, my boss is paying me to do this."

"No Reservations" is a remake of the romantic comedy "Mostly Martha", but sadly, this remake is bland, no spark, predictable ending and overall disappointing.

I love this movie, it's a fun romantic and of course it always gets me cooking. Even with it's slight tragedy it brings enlightenment and merriment. I love it.

I got this for my mother for her birthday but i too had seen it and its a sad tale from the start of a chef who finds out her sister and niece were in a accident on their way to see her and in doing so had lost her sister in the accident yet had gained guardian custody of her niece and in doing so had learned few days later that her workplace had hired a new chef while she was dealing with a family crisis. Yet i must say its a tearjerker but the ending well lets just say that everyones wish gets granted.
