Synopsis
Retired Mexican-American chef Martin Naranjo shares his Los Angeles home with his three daughters, all three grown, beautiful and single. Although he has long since lost his sense of taste, Martin still lives to cook incredibly opulent dinners for his loved ones. Things take a romantic turn when Dad, a widower, meets a vivacious divorcée looking for a mate and each of his daughters, in turn, finds someone. But they all discover that the recipe for happiness may require some unexpected ingredients... After "Rain on Her Shoes," the Spanish director, who studied film at the American Film Institute, returns to the U.S. to shoot a Latin version of Ang Lee's acclaimed family comedy "Eat, Drink, Love".
Critics' reviews
- "While this cheerful film has nothing particularly new to say about the ties that hold family members together even when they're driving each other crazy, it's a pleasure to watch such a talented ensemble at work."
- "Only some of the characterizations exhibit subtlety, though most of the performances have considerable charm."
- "Thanks to a perfectly blended ensemble led by Hector Elizondo, in his best screen role to date, 'Tortilla Soup' is a warm-blooded winner"
- "Endearing and unpretentious."
- "Though the cast are willing, the movie plods along in need of the zingy flavours and hot spices we see going into Elizondo's cooking."
- "Like a drunken karaoke version of a classic song, this derivative piece of filmmaking does little but blemish our memories of the magic it is trying to copy."
