A bit melodramatic at times, but still charming.

This valentine to the cultural diversity that defines L.A. is a second-tier Altman (or even Paul Thomas Anderson)a broad, accessible comedy that contrasts four large and dynamic families residing on the same street: Latino, black, Jewish, and Asian.

This is a terrific holiday film.

A flavorless fable that is as hard to swallow as a piece of tough turkey.

A combination of fresh ingredients mixed together with skill to create a well-balanced harmony of diverse flavours. Delicious.

A multi-culti hodgepodge of sitcom stereotypes and old jokes centered on one, painfully weak premise.

I enjoy kissing women, and I'd be happy to do it again.

An overstuffed casserole of some good intentions and many more missed opportunities.

Chadha and co-writer Paul Mayeda Berges' screenplay relies too heavily on melodramatic situations, which are compromised by underdeveloped characters and some serious overacting.

It will not only make your mouth water at four extraordinary meals, but also will bring smiles and chuckles.

Many of the ingredients in this movie melting-pot quickly become so sweet as to spoil the soup.
