Summary: A Sweet Little Souffle of a Movie...
Review: I rented this movie purely on the basis of a pretty charming little rave print review by Roger Ebert,and was glad I did (ended up even buying a copy on VHS for myself). The movie is slight and whimsical -- lots of magic, not a lot of gritty reality -- but it's sweet and strange and has a lot of charm. The characters are daffy and whimsically painted, and don't go the usual hollywood movie route. Gellar is sweet and insecure as the heroine -- a much less glamorous role than her weekly (equally fabulous) vampire slaying Buffy heroine -- while Buckley and Flanery and the fine supporting cast are all enjoyable to watch in the romantic mishaps that ensue. The wonderful Patricia Clarkson meanwhile is so much fun that she steals every scene she's in without detracting a bit from the appeal of her costars -- a pretty good trick (it's worth the price of admission to hear her say, "This is nutty. Hazel-nutty."). I really loved this movie -- started out wondering where it was going, but by the end I didn't care -- the writing is offbeat and fun, not so by the book. The movie's not "Schindler's List" or anything, sure -- it's pretty lightweight -- but it doesn't feel as Hollywood-ish as your usual romantic comedy, and you really never know what the characters will say next. The food also looks glorious and really adds to the sense of whimsy. The soundtrack is as sweet and fun as everything else -- if you need cheering up, or convincing that there's still a bit of Astaire and Rogers in the world, this one's a great choice, where a perfect eclair can create true love, and a wonderful meal can make people weep with delight (and float in the air a time or two)...

Summary: Irresistibly Irresistible!
Review: "Simply Irresistible" is a light-as-cream love story that stars the beautiful and talented Sarah Michelle Gellar as a suddenly good chef. She falls in love with Sean Patrick Flanery's character, and the wonderful magic begins. This film is so incredible. The story is trite, but one can hardly resist being drawn in and captivated by it. Watch it with the person you love.

Summary: What?
Review: Nothing about this movie makes sense. The acting is bad, the plot is mindbogglingly stupid, and the script...well, better not to go there. If you want a cute, romantic movie, check out American Dreamer.

Summary: If a little depressed, watch this movie
Review: If you're feeling a little down, relax and watch this movie. By the end your spirit will be raised enough to forget the little problems in your life. OK, the movie is a romantic fantasy, but isn't that why we watch movies. To be entertained. Sarah plays the part OK, but the supporting cast and soundtrack is what makes this movie work. The music just seems to sit in the back of your mind, and you'll find yourself trying to remember the songs. First buy this movie, but also but the soundtrack. It grows on you. This movie didn't get good reviews from the critics, but for me, I go see the one's they don't like. A movie is for your entertainment, to leave reality for about 2 hours. Believe me, after watching this movie, you'll be walking on air

Summary: The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
Review: Sarah Michelle Gellar was absolutely incredible in this movie. She and Sean Oatrick Flanery were both great. Gellar is a cook who run's her dead mother's resteraunt. Only problem is, she can't cook, and they are out of money! That's where Flanery steps in. He helps her out. This is a great movie, and could have gotten by with a PG rating.

Summary: I WANT TO RETRACT MY OTHER REVIEW! THIS IS A GOOD MOVIE!
Review: I wrote an earlier review, saw it on cable, and didn't find anything special about it. well, i watched it for a second time, and taped it, and it actually was good. maybe this is one of movies you need to see more than once before you decide whether you like it or not, if that makes any sense! it is a cute little romantic comedy, it has a very fairy tale like quality about it. i would now recommend it! smg is smashing!

Review: This movie is so adorable. The idea of expressing your feelings through food to the one you love is a really nice thought. Its guaranteed to make your mouth water, besides, the only way to a man's heart is through his stomach, right?

Summary: Someone please kill me.
Review: That's exactly what my friends and I were saying while viewing this movie, trapped inside the movie theater. Gellar finds a magical crab who makes her able to cook. Then a guy loves the food. They float around the room for no paticular reason and there is nothing funny about this movie, especially when you have to sit through it. Worst film of 99. Reviewers hated it. Everyone in the theater screamed out insults. The TV times gave it 1 star (lowest possible). Enough said.
