This romantic comedy may look good on paper, but it's too predictable and melancholy for the genre.

Here is a romcom that has been developed on a Petri dish in some unspeakable secret department at the Porton Down biological warfare unit, designed to release a gaseous vapour into cinemas, rendering the civilian population immobile. Aug 31, 2007 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Sometimes movies make sense in a logical way; sometimes they make only emotional sense. No Reservations makes no damned sense at all. Jul 27, 2007

No Reservations is worth penciling in to your schedule, though it's more guilty diversion than memorable feast. Jul 27, 2007 | Rating: 3/4

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. Jul 27, 2007 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

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. Aug 25, 2008 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

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. Feb 14, 2008 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The movie poster suggested "No Reservations" would be a rom-com -- but there was no discernible "com" actually in it. While there certainly was a modicum of romance, the story is much better characterized as a drama focused on a career-minded woman taking on the responsibility of raising her traumatized niece after a terrible tragedy, and who grudgingly allows a cute but insipid male sidekick into the house as a hanger-on. It was entertaining from the professional kitchen angle, but there did not seem to be much leavening in the bread.
Super Reviewer
Ordinary rom-com but Eckhart is appealing.
More romantic/drama than a comedy. It has more heartfelt, feel good moments than any really laugh out loud scenes. Still it was a nice story, with a good cast and well made. Just always a bit predictable.
A nice romantic film that is great for families.
