The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014)

Crappy film

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

'The Hundred-Foot Journey' was a little like 'Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' for me - I had quite low expectations as I thought it was going to be an "old lady movie". Thankfully, I was proven wrong and instead was treated to a nice little film about following your dreams.The premise is simple - an Indian family move to London, get sick of the cold/rain (who wouldn't!) and travel to continental Europe to find a new place to settle and start a restaurant. This place happens to be a picturesque little village in Southern France - however, their new restaurant happens to be next to a Michelin-rated French restaurant, and a rivalry ensues.The performances from Puri as the Dad and Mirren as the French restaurant owner are great and quite nuanced, with Hassan (Daval) and Marguerite (the huge-eyed Le Bon) playing the young love interests/competing chefs. It's great to see how their friendship evolves as Hassan goes on his food journey. Some parts of this feel like a cooking show, but not enough to put you off. It has funny moments, touching moments and a nice ending - plenty of messages about openness and accepting other cultures, and generally giving something/someone a chance.

This is the best comedy for me.The film "The Hundred foot journey" is a very interesting and moving film.The actors are good and sometimes funny. I like this film because it's a nice story with some actors and wonderful places. I love this film! If you like moving films,watch "The Hundred Foot Journey".

(Flash Review)A restaurateur from India moves his family to France. They set up shop across (100 feet to be precise) from a critically acclaimed fine dining restaurant with a 2 star Michelin rating. Can fine dining and Indian cuisine maintain friendly relations? That's the overarching plot. The sub plot is the Indian son is a cooking protégé and the fine-dining owner wants to recruit him for her mentorship. Once he experiences the top end, will he begin to miss his downhome Indian ways? The movie was nicely shot, picturesque and well-produced. Serviceable script yet the editing had some abrupt scenes directional changes; didn't blend well together. Toss in a girl/boy romance and you get the picture. The core plot is good; told in a family friendly manner.

I find those who pan movies such as this extremely self centered and lack the ability to just sit down and enjoy a story for it's merits All of you who judge presentations in a negative context obviously do not even have a glimmer of the ability to create the story telling presented' sour grapes are always easier to spew than those of quality. Shame on you for trying to denigrate the weaving of a charming story I think you most likely do not like kittens and puppy's enjoy life it is short and you are wasting your prime years being a self centered toilet tissue as dad always used to say there are more horses as* holes than horses
