WORST movie ive seen in a long time!

I didn't like it either and I usually enjoy a RomCom. Of course, this dud didn't have any laughs, the scenes with the grieving kid were too long and dragged the movie down, I found myself sympathizing with Kate's boss (I would have found a replacement for an employee who was costing me customers, too), and Nick was a smarmy bastard who will probably run off with a waitress and Kate's savings six months from now.

I usually avoid this genre because of it's unoriginality, dishonesty, and many times superficial or artificial characters and situations. I have to say compared to what I have seen, No Reservations was very good. I'd watch it again and I can't say the same for any of crap that McConaughey craps out. If there is one thing I would change about No Reservations it's the side storyline of her sister's death. The little girl having to deal with not having her mom is very heavy material and dragged it down. I'm just saying it could've been a light hearted romantic comedy which is what it felt like in spots, then they'd show the little girl crying and you were back to a serious drama. Honestly, why must death be a mandatory element in a movie like this?

I really loved this movie and it doesn't get the credit it deserves. Great Score, Great Actors, Great Script =)

'it's priest, have a little priest'

I thought it was one of the best. Very moving, relating to the death of someone that was loved and having to take care of their child, then the romantic part where she wont open up her heart but this man manages to get in. IT was truly a sweet and touching movie

I don't care for this genre of movie, but I enjoyed this movie, very much.
The story was heartwarming, with the actors showing the quirks and flaws of the characters. The background music and song selection was excellent.

I am by no means a film critic, don't know much about the actors and was forced to watch this by my daughter, who also enjoyed the movie and recommended it.
Now I have just watched it again, by myself, and like it even more.

Different strokes for different folks, I reckon.

I'm not a huge fan of the lead actors, but they put in decent performances here. Actually what surprised me about this movie is that it did somewhat capture the mood of what it is like behind the scenes of an upper crust restaurant. I've known many folks that have worked a wide variety of jobs in that particular industry and the entire vibe was pretty accurate (the woman practicing her lines in the freezer was hilarious, that really happens pretty frequently!). So I guess your own arrogant ignorance was probably the source of your boredom. Good luck with that.

Buy the DVD of MOSTLY MARTHA and forget about this Hollywood rip-off.

Worst in a long time is a serious exaggeration imo, but the movie wasn't very good either. The main problem for me wasn't Eckhart nor the little girl, but CZJ.

She was completely miscast in this as her character exuded about as much charisma as a wet kitchen towel. She was supposed to be a quirky loner, an obsessive-perfectionist, but also very talented, chef, yet instead she came across as an annoying nag who showed very little connection to her niece. And as a result it seemed almost strange that someone like Eckharts character would even want to work for her, let alone hook up.

Imagine the difference if a young Meg Ryan, Marisa Tomei, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, ... would have played the lead instead of ice queen CZJ.
