Summary: Magically Romantic
Review: A definite romantic movie! This was the first movie I saw Sarah Michelle and Sean in and I loved it. I was left with a feeling of magic around me. It was clean, no foul language, no sex. I loved the plot. It made me cry, then feel happy. My daughter and I feel this is one of our all time favorites! A definite "chick flick" which the guys can also enjoy.

Summary: It's so bad -- That's why I like it!
Review: Remember MST3K, that show where the little silhouetted heads on the bottom of the screen would make fun of bad films? They'd have a blast with this one. These pointless romantic comedies are becoming the new B-level sci-fi flicks. And that's this film's only redeeming quality.
How can I begin to critique the poor quality of film this is? Let's start with plot. Here's how a romantic comedy show work: boy & girl meet, boy & girl like each other, conflict occurs where it looks like they can't be together, in the end they always do. Here, they just couldn't think of a conflict. Two thirds in, the guy suddenly thinks: "Hey, I don't wanna be with this girl, she can fly!" This weak conflict is NEVER RESOLVED!!! Instead, the guy just conveniantly decides that he loves her after all and turns around to go back to the party where they fly together.Then comes all the loose ends: the mother's earrings, the magic crab, the fairy godfather, etc. The concept of food serving as symbolism for sex was used much better in Chocolat, by the way. The music video at the end was incredibly stupid, also by the way. Hey, I like Sarah Gellar. If you watch this and then watch Cruel Intentions you'll see how diverse an actress she can be. But since this just plain [stinks], I encourage you all to rent it to poke fun at. Sarah's "Do you realize how many different words there are for delicious?" monolouge is an excellent target. Let us all make fun of this piece of excrement. It is simply irresistable.

Summary: A Little Light Fluff.
Review: Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in this movie about a young woman running a small restaurant once owned and operated by her late mother. Gellar's character is a horrible cook and the eatery is on the verge of closing. One day while out gathering ingredients she meets a strange man who predicts that things are about to change for the better and suggests she buy some crabs. One of the little fellows gets away and ends up causing the initial meeting between Gellar and Sean Patrick Flanery, playing the manager of a hip and savy restaurant about to open up uptown. From that point on, Gellar's luck changes and she becomes a great cook, putting all of herself in her work. I enjoyed this movie a lot more than I thought I would. The plot was predictable and most of the it was stolen directly from LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE. In fact, this movie is basically LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE for teens. It's nice to see Gellar in a girl-next-door role instead of some vampire-killing sleeze or sexy, but loose woman role (stars are much more beautiful when they play down to earth characters). Flanery's character lacks depth, but it isn't the actors fault and it's nice to see him working again. Basically, there's nothing deep here, just a little light fluff.

Summary: Are you kidding me?
Review: Wow, I read some reviews of this movie that made it sound good. "That cute little crab". This movie was as hokey as Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space". You could actually see the string on the so-called "magic crab" I think I owned a bath toy that looked just like that crab when I was 8. It was only a notch above "Bats" on the worst movies I have seen list. The plot was awful, the acting wasn't very even (although SPF did look good in those suits) and the direction was spotty. I just didn't like it. It was one of those "so bad its really bad movies".

Summary: Simply Awful
Review: I've seen some really bad movies in my time, but this mess takes the cake. I work at a theatre and I get free movies, so one nite, to waste some time, I decided to check this out. I sat there stunned at how bad this is..everything about it is terrible. Not sure who the Director of photography was, but this thing has a weird look to it..cheap and bad. If you are a fan of bad movies, you gotta see this for a laugh..I don't remember a whole lot, but I do remember something about the main character having powers and she made these lobsters talk or something..bad memories, man. Must be seen to be believed.

Summary: Very Sweet Movie.... Great for everyone!
Review: This was a very sweet movie. There were no swear words (that I can remember,) and no nudity. I understood completely who the man in the beginning was, and the crab was adorable! It was not as "mature" as Chocolate, but it was just as entertaining. If you like romance movies with a little bit of the supernatural thrown in, than you will definitely like this one. My husband usually sleeps through "chick flicks", but he enjoyed this one. It proves that a good movie can stand on it's own WITHOUT having the "shock" aspect of bad language, gore, violence and nudity. I was a little hesistant because of the "Buffy-girl", but she is really a good actress, and very beautiful. Bring on more like this!

Summary: It was ok....
Review: This movie had an attractive cast and wonderful sets. I can see why so many people (especially the younger set) give it such high marks. I thought it was cute, but it really could have been so much more. There were too many questions left unanswered. 1) Who was the guy in the square? An angel, a fairy god type''. 2) Where did all of this magic come from? Was it the crab, the fairy god guy, the earrings or her mother? 3) Were the 2 main characters in love because they developed a relationship, or was it the magic? 4) Most of all''How could that crab just keep hanging around kitchens and not wind up in a pot of boiling water? All of these and many more will still be left unanswered at the closing credits. Simply Irresistible felt like a cross between 'The Butcher's Wife' & 'Mannequin'. A pleasant way to spend an evening, but I don't want to see it again.

Summary: One of my favorites of all time.
Review: I never tire of this movie. Dispite the souffle metaphors ("falling flat") used by the staff reviewer, this is an engaging and entertaining movie with a great soundtrack that keeps me coming back every couple of weeks to see it again. I love the idea that "the being in love is even better than the falling in love," especially when the falling in love is accomplished with such true magic. Gellar and Flannery are magic in the kitchen, magic on the dance floor, and have incredible chemistry together. Try it on for size as a stay-at-home date movie with some sweet nibbles to keep the mood. I really loved it.

Summary: It's A Wonderful Movie
Review: I am a big fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar and I've seen her movie before where she plays Amanda Shelton who runs the Southern Cross Restaurant in which the movie was filmed on location in New York City and the best part of the movie is Katalina's music video,"Bewitched,Bothered & Bewildered" in which shown after the movie.
