Food and travel across the United States. With just a narrator, the cameras interview the chefs, owners and diners about American food in all shapes and forms. For each episode, there is a theme. The episode takes you across the country to restaurants, dives, food trucks, diners and places to eat food in all it's form and glory. I always recommend this show to anyone out there. It's also one of the most wholesome show for the family. It's mindless, entertaining and cheerful. Everyone can watch this show. Each episode covers eight places around the country with a theme for each episode. Whether it's pork, bacon, burgers, cheese, food trucks, etc, Food Paradise is the best show to watch where you can travel the country without leaving your living room.
Drew Barrymore play a single pregnant Sally Jackson, a young woman who lives in Hill Country, Texas where she works at a burger joint drive thru. When the baby's married father dies under mysterious circumstances, she grieves and wants to make amends with his wife who she didn't know about. The baby's father has a vengeful, vindictive wife and two adult stepsons. Luke Wilson and Busey play brothers, Dorian and Angus. Native Texan Shelley Duvall played Sally's supportive mother. Catherine O'Hara was great as their twisted mother. The film was shot entirely in Hill Country, Texas. Drew and Luke Wilson do a good believable job.
I loved watching Katherine Helmond as the ogre's wife. I really wanted to see Shelley Duvall who is only in it for a couple of scenes. The film follows a boy on an incredible adventure traveling through time and events. It has an all star cast though. The premise has some issues. I didn't care for the ending though. I felt the time traveling bandits didn't really have a plan. All through the movie, I just didn't get what was going on. The ogre scene was the best part though. Helmond was perfect as the wife. Duvall was fine as Pansy. With an all star cast, you would think they would have used the actors more. But.
