Like the well-known joke about Chinese fare %u2014 No Reservations satisfies while you're sitting down at the table, but an hour later you're hungry again.

There's nothing in this story that you haven't seen before, and you'll know everything that's going to happen long before it does, yet it's all done with such charm and style that you won't care.

...there's not much sparkle in the movie and even less spark to the love story.

Not bad, not amazing. Just a classy romantic comedy that, like a good meal, is enjoyable enough to partake of, but the taste of which will fade soon thereafter.

The cast makes the film a warm and agreeable experience.

Chalk it up as an alternative to watching a kitchen full of singing rats.

You don't need to have been a fan of the terrific German film Mostly Martha that inspired this remake, or even to have seen the original, to recognize that her American cousin has a tendency to overcook things.

No Reservations is worth penciling in to your schedule, though it's more guilty diversion than memorable feast.

Catherine Zeta-Jones controls the kitchen, but can't control my attention.

A shamelessly microwaved American rewarming of the 2002 German romantic comedy Mostly Martha.

To see No Reservations is to see what's wrong with a lot of American movies. A remake Mostly Martha, it takes a winning recipe and adds some distinctly Hollywood flavors: It takes adult characters and has them behave like children.

Sometimes movies make sense in a logical way; sometimes they make only emotional sense. No Reservations makes no damned sense at all.
