10/10.

I don't usually write long posts on IMDb, but I'll take the time to express what this movie meant to me in a couple of paragraphs.

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays a top New York City chef (Kate) who runs a kitchen. Her mother taught her how to cook, so she co-ordinates the kitchen in a certain way. Each dish is well-presented and she expects a high standard. One night, Kate receives a phone call at work saying that her sister has died in a car accident. Kate was going to meet her sister and niece (Zoe, played by a talented Abigail Breslin) after work that night, but she has to rush off to the hospital instead. Zoe is discharged from hospital when she is well enough after the accident. After that, the movie focuses on Kate adjusting to guardianship because she's never had any children before (her life has been the restaurant). She then falls in love with a new chef at the restaurant (Nick, played by Aaron Eckhart), who she initially didn't get on with because her thought was that he'd try and 'take over.' Zoe finds it hard to get used to life without her mother, but Kate helps her to come to terms with the loss more. Nick and Zoe cook some food for Kate; Kate sees he's good with Zoe as well. Near the end, Kate begs Nick not to move to San Francisco because she loves him. They then open a bistro called 'Kate, Nick and Zoe's' and live happily ever after!

I wanted to see this movie because I'd never seen Catherine Zeta-Jones in anything before. I also knew Abigail Breslin was a talented actress. The two were a good combination. Aaron Eckhart impressed me too! You have to make the most of life because you never know what's around the corner; the movie taught me this. Outstanding casting, location and storyline: 10/10.
