A small conversational film with plenty of small jokes, showcasing Hollywood star Katie Holmes in a somewhat different role than her fans usually know her for. While it's worth just a one-time watch, I enjoyed it decently; the humor was mostly effective, and the screenplay doesn't slide into awkwardness at any point. It's a comedy about a crazy culinary attempt that nobody believed would succeed. The film may not excite, but it earned my sympathy. Overall impression: 60%. The film's shortcoming is a certain imbalance, partly due to the tight budget. (2008.12.26)
