What: No Reservations
Where: @ home - free HBO weekend
Why: Figured it would be decent
This movie was pretty cute. Definitely a chick flick.
Catherine Zeta Jones (Kate) is a work-a-holic chef - one of the best in NYC. Typical chick in a movie, she's great at her job but has no social life and lives alone. Tragedy strikes her sister, forcing her niece (Abigail Breslin) Zoe to come live with her.
Side comment: Zoe is one of my favorite names.
While Kate is taking care of family stuff and helping Zoe move in, Aaron Eckert (Nick) is subbing for Kate at her super famous restaurant. Kate was a hard butt in the kitchen, and Nick is very laid back. The restaurant staff love him, and the manager loves him as well.
In typical movie style, Kate and Nick work together, kiss, have a great 'family' montage with Zoe, then get in a huge fight. Turns out the restaurant wants Nick to run the entire place and Kate is furious!
Does Nick take the job? Does Nick move to San Fransisco instead? Do Kate and Nick get back together? Is Zoe a stable child after having a great movie montage moment with Nick, but now she knows they aren't going to hang out anymore? Tune in to find out! Or, you can probably assume that will happen, b/c this is a very predictable movie.
Two more side notes: Zoe has some really great knit hats and scarfs. I was jealous of her wardrobe. And Abigail Breslin always seems to play the super smart kid. In this movie she was more like a mini adult than a child. Same thing in Definitely, Maybe (with hottie Ryan Reynolds). She knew all about complex relationships and was talking about them with her father. I miss the Dakota Fanning craze - she always seemed to play a great "kid".
