No Reservations (2007) 7/10

Starring : Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Abigail Breslin, Patricia Clarkson
Director : Scott Hicks
Running Time : 105 mins

Kate (Zeta-Jones) is the head chef at a flash restaurant who is such a perfectionist she can't take criticism from anyone, but when her sister dies in a car crash she is forced to change her life to take care of her niece Zoe (Breslin). But with her away from work, her boss employs a new chef, Nick (Eckhart), to take over some of her duties, much to Kate's distaste.

I was expecting this to be something of a slapstick comedy, but instead it’s more of a light hearted drama with Zeta-Jones character having to make changes in her life to accommodate her niece. In spite of this disappointment this was still pretty entertaining, largely thanks to Eckhart’s character who teaches Zeta-Jones that life isn’t all about work.
