to sign up a more likable and more possible actor to play the young chef role. this actor simply could not deliver a likable or even believable character. he just looked like a clown, a way-too-ordinary nobody, like Roberto Benigni or Woody Allen, only the movies could allow them to have beautiful women fallen for them. time and again, this nobody-like character in this movie, had a much taller and very beautiful woman being his lover and even carried his child. the screenplay was not good enough to script better dialog. there were so many sections the dialogs were just vague and messy. the arrangement of the characters were also not well developed. it's definitely a comedy, but i never got a chance to smile, albeit laugh for the whole movie. i just felt very awkward and rushed all the time. the scenarios were just too weak. the restaurants and the kitchen scenes also looked vague and unconvincing. this is a barely watchable french movie, definitely not worth blindly copying or adapting by Hollywood again.
