this film lack something i couldn not put my finger on at first represent charisma on the part of the lead actress . this inevitably translate to lack of chemistry when she share the screen with her leading man . even the romantic scene come across a be merely the actor at play . it could very well have be the director who miscalculate what he need from the actor . i just do not know . but could it have be the screenplay . just exactly who be the chef in love with . he seem more enamored of his culinary skill and restaurant and and ultimately of himself and his youthful exploit and than of anybody or anything else . he never convince me he be in love with the princess . i be disappoint in this movie . but and do not forget it be nominate for an oscar and so judge for yourself .
