Rob Haley (Dougray Scott) is an up-and-coming chef with a great future who is thrown for a loop with the sudden, unexpected loss of his wife. Real life chef, Gordon Ramsey visits him in London and with his encouragement, pushes him to turn a run-down country pub into a gourmet restaurant. His food catches the eye – and taste buds – of beautiful American food critic Kate Templeton (Claire Forlani). Before long, a love story evolves with all the trails and tribulations, joys and heatbreaks that a good love story brings.
This is a peaceful film. It’s a romantic comedy which is playful and fun. No groundbreaking surprises here, just a warm friendly chick flick. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy tries to win girl back. Nothing earth shattering, but it has the feel of a Hallmark Christmas type film, although it’s not holiday themed at all. It’s still got the warmth and feel of a nice love story. Worth watching for fans of this type of film. You could do a lot worse. And don’t let Ramsay scare you. He’s only it is a couple times, but he takes over the screen whenever he shows up. Watch Instantly on NetFlix, or any of a bunch of other ways to watch it, or keep an eye out for it on cable.
