DVD Synopsis

Carol Fuchs adapts writer/director Sandra Nettelbeck's screenplay for the 2001 romantic drama Mostly Martha for this Scott Hicks directed remake starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Aaron Eckhart, and Patricia Clarkson. Kate Armstrong (Jones) is the master chef who is equally intense both in and out of the kitchen. Though Kate's "Type A" personality serves her well when whipping up meals in the trendy Manhattan eatery where she has made a name for herself, it threatens to sink her when she is named as the guardian of her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail Breslin). To complicate matters, an impetuous new sous chef named Nick Palmer (Eckhart) has recently joined the kitchen staff and his freewheeling personality seems to stand in direct opposition to Kate's unwavering perfectionism. Yet, despite the fact that they couldn't be more different on the surface, there's no denying the strong attraction between Kate and Nick. As the rivalry between the competitive cooks gradually gives way to romance, the lessons learned by compromising in the kitchen reveal to Kate the importance of learning to openly express herself in order to truly connect with Zoe and find romance with the good-natured Nick. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I was really surprised by this movie. I was expecting a romantic comedy, but it is actually primarily a drama centered around a little girl that has lost her mother. It made me cry! The character development was also much deeper than I expected, with the exception of the lead male character. All in all a very well done movie.

I adored this movie. Abigail Breslin will break your heart as the orphan who still misses her mother.

Critics damned this with faint praise. I find this to be a keeper. The onscreen romance was believable and well done. You like all the characters. Without giving away, more, there are good ongoing themes and issues that run through the movie and keep you engaged.

Weak American remake of a far, far superior German movie. The only thing inferior about the German version is the title: Mostly Martha. Otherwise, the presentation, the acting, the overall feeling of this movie pales seriously by comparison to the European version. Very superficial and just not as engaging as a whole.
