“I don’t want my restaurant to be a place where people sit and eat. I want people to sit at that table and be sick with longing.”
There was a truly great film within this concept, with a similar story and the same characters/actors, but this wasn’t it; several moments were fantastic, but most of the movie was a clichéd mess — but what a mess, I’m a sucker for a complicated-but-charming hero’s redemption story.
