Thanks to a perfectly blended ensemble led by Hector Elizondo, in his best screen role to date, Tortilla Soup is a warm-blooded winner with equal emphasis placed on taste buds and heartstrings. Dec 3, 2008 | Full Review…

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. Feb 9, 2006 | Full Review…

Despite a few adjustments, Ripoll's film largely remains faithful to the central plotting of Lee's original film, which presented a slightly familiar yet utterly charming tale of food and families. Aug 12, 2002 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

If your erotic inclinations tilt toward the table, Tortilla Soup will probably offer nothing short of hardcore pleasure. If not, but see it you must, close your eyes and think of other appetites. Mar 29, 2002 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The writers have swiped Lee's basic premise and main characters, while pretty much ignoring his skill and sensitivity. Mar 29, 2002 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

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. May 27, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

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. Jun 1, 2003 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
