Decent film but kind of boring at times

I fully agree. I was very excited about this movie and I was bored. I thought it was slow. It was a bit too long in my opinion.

I think I agree, but in a different way...
This would have been good as a mini-series, to give it the length to explore all the elements that were only touched-on.
Like the younger sister, who seemed to have a personality for about a minute; the other sous-chefs in the classy restaurant, who looked like a variety of skills and competencies; like the people of the village, who never showed whether they liked the Indian cuisine; like the Mayor and his wife, who might have had something to do other than just eat. And so on.
And the chef was reputed to have been a lady-killer while in Paris. Too bad we never saw that.
Give it a span like Mr. Selfridge, and it would have filled out into a good drama. As it was, it only suggested so many plot and personality points, and ran long getting them all in.

Tenser, said the Tensor.
Tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun.

Definitely, very slow at times. I must've looked at my watch at least 4x.

Seemed pretty predictable and cliched, not just in the storyline, but even in the music. If you want to think about French songs, the first two that come to mind are La Marseillaise and La Vie en Rose. This movie went ahead and included both! No shame...

Little hard to believe too that he goes to Paris, adds a few cardamom seeds -- like nobody else ever thought of that before -- and voila! superstar status.
