ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
lisafordeay Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in this sappy cringeworthy romantic comedy about a amateur chef who comes across a mysterious crab who has magical powers that turns Gellar's charcther into a brilliant chef. But problems arise however when she falls in love with a guy who works at a department store. So when he tastes her food and likes it she has to wonder can all this got to do with the mysterious magical crab?Bottom line this film is definitely a guilty pleasure for a lot of romantic comedy fans. Its silly,its cringeworthy,its got the same formula as every romantic comedy. I may try and track this film down and watch it again.
kpollock-67666 I don't understand the reviews of this film. I loved it and found it a funny and cute movie about love, food and pinch of magic. Anyone looking for deeper meaning wouldn't be impressed but if you just take the humor and the cute interactions of the characters for what they are you will find a movie worth watching again and again. I've seen it around 10 times myself. I even went to the trouble of finding it on DVD which wasn't easy. However it was totally worth it so I would be able to watch the movie anytime I want. The movie is about a girl who is down on her luck and finds a bit of magic to help get her back on her feet. Give it a chance and it may surprise you.
Daughter_of_the_Valar i adore this movie. it's got everything that makes me feel like it was a good choice.sure it's cheesy and silly, but that's the reason you watch. it's a cute little movie that's great to rent for the weekend (like i did) the cooking even inspired me to do some of my own. i might have nearly burnt the house down and reminded myself of why i never cook but i was in such a happy mood that it didn't matter.if you love sweet little romantic comedies then Simply Irresistible is definitely a movie you need to see. it might not be in the same class as some others but it's so lovely you can't help but like it.see it, if you don't like it then no big deal but if you do like it...you'll love it.
danish_mermaid FYI -There is a wee spoiler in this text.Here is another food movie to make you cringe like you never cringed before. The producers in this caramelized eye sore serve you a Pâté de Poor Acting on a soggy bed of Flimsy Plot. The music score gets more syrupy by the minute and by the time the movie finally ends the notes are oozing down the screen. Worth enjoying were scenes of various actors getting mouthgasms and rolling their eyes with every bite of Sarah Michelle Gellar's dishes. Unfortunately, by the third time you have witnessed this act of convulsive eating it has all but lost its charm. So if you can't resist killing time then see Simply Irresistible, but if you have a choice then move on to greener spinach. Better yet, if you are in the mood for a good food film, then see "Chocolat" directed by Lasse Hallstöm. Bon Appetit!
