Synopsis:

• Poster: C-

Review:

The food in the trailer looks artistic and visually stunning, yet the poster lacks a clear central focus, has no originality of design and lacks the spark that draws a reluctanct filmgoer into the theater.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

Despite some rather interesting food designs, the film looks mostly like a glorified cooking documentary. And while the music sets the mood for the stting of the documentary, the pacing is a bit too slow for general consumption.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• July 29, 2011
