This doesn't look all that great, but it doesn't look awful either. A 'meh' movie here.

[Moviefan02000]

I'll see it because my cousin did the costumes. Because of that, I'm planning on seeing it on Saturday. If it wasn't for that, I'd wait for DVD.

For some reason,and this is definetly corny admitting so,but I kind of think it looks good.

[ilovemovies]

I think it looks good too.

But I'll definitely don't want to see this with an empty stomache. I have a feeling watching this movie will make me VERY hungry. :D

[Strider]

I'm not terribly interested in No Reservations, mostly because I've already seen the film it's a remake of, Mostly Martha. Maybe I'll see it on a day when there's nothing better playing in theater, but as of right now, it's looking like a wait-to-rent for me.

I loved Mostly Martha, and I love both Zeta-Jones and Eckhart, so I'll definitely see this when I get a chance.

If you have an appetite for some romance,drama,and some laughs,and need a break from this summers explosions and CGI,see No Reservations.Its a very charming film.Catherine Zeta-Jones , Aaron Eckhart , Abigail Breslin and Bob Balaban are equally all wonderful and fun to watch.NR has its predictable moments but its still fun,and all those wonderful dishes made my mouth water.
Scale of 1-10 an 8

What an absolutely adorable, irresistible movie! Never in a million years would I expect to like this film as much as I did. The whole cast does a great job but a big kudos to Catherine Zeta Jones. She took an average, ordinary character and turned it into something more. Her performance was marvelous and shocked the hell out of me. I don't have many bad things to say about the film, except that it does have it's cliche moments (most of which, are featured in the trailer) and the score, which would have been good if you were just listening to it on a CD player, came off as melodramatic throughout the course of the film. I can't recommend this enough. It's definitely one of the big surprises of 2007. It's a wonderful little film that pulls at your heartstrings and honestly, I smiled the whole way through.

8/10 (A-)

I just started working at a restaurant, so I'm actually interested in seeing this.

[Moviefan02000]

It's really cute. It took me by surprise.

[teenkiller]

Catherine looks as good as ever and Echart appears like he might be a rising star. I'm personally not interested in the film but it doesn't churn my stomach either. Sometimes these romantic comedies turn out surprisingly fun. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[Moviefan02000]

It's really not even a romantic comedy. For the majority it's a drama/comedy. She doesn't get with Eckhart until the last half hour or so.

[Superplasmatron]

I'd rather eat a big turd than watch this.

[wahlberg woman]

looks ok and i might check it out because Moviefan02000 gave it such a good review

and it kinda reminds me of Raising Helen

[ilovemovies]

I liked it a lot. As I expected the food in the movie looked absolutely great. I'm a particularly big sea food fan and the lobster Catherine Zeta-Jones makes in one scene for her therapist, played by Bob Balaban, looked especially exquisite.

And fortunately the movie itself is good too. The performances from Zeta-Jones, Abigail Breslin and Aaron Eckhart are wonderful. As good as she was in her oscar nominated turn in Little Miss Sunshine, I thought Breslin was actually much better here. And there are some pretty emotional and poignant moments throughout the movie. I actually got a little teary eyed during a couple of moments. Good movie.
