This was pretty much what I expected although more on the romantic/drama than romantic comedy side of things. The story has been done many times before so this is predictable yet somehow still didn't feel redundant to me. It follows a workaholic New York City chef (this time around) who must suddenly deal with taking care of her orphaned 9 year old niece.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is suitably (bitchy) giving off a no-nonsense intensity as she runs her kitchen. I did enjoy (as always) Aaron Eckhart as her easy going love interest and Abigail Breslin puts in a great performance as the orphaned niece. I felt sad for her and she seemed to bring out the best in both of her leads. The romance here is meh, whatever, the story brainless and the ending kinda cheesy but still an easily watchable movie. 11/17/15
