To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars in this sappy cringeworthy romantic comedy about a amateur chef who comes across a mysterious crab who has magical powers that turns Gellar's charcther into a brilliant chef. But problems arise however when she falls in love with a guy who works at a department store. So when he tastes her food and likes it she has to wonder can all this got to do with the mysterious magical crab?Bottom line this film is definitely a guilty pleasure for a lot of romantic comedy fans. Its silly,its cringeworthy,its got the same formula as every romantic comedy. I may try and track this film down and watch it again.
This is Sarah Michelle Gellar's best movie! Unpretentious, genuine young lady battling the reality of small business and about to see her whole world go down the kitchen drain when she is saved by wonder.And that is what this story is about wonder.. and food.For me the details are everything. The plot is simple and that is probably what disturbs a number of the reviewers.. but they admit it themselves.. and they can't put their finger on it. Here we finally have a story where everything suddenly goes right. And wouldn't you like that to happen to you at least once! The movie has name players but not A-listers. The story features a great deal to do with savouring the taste of food, and who would go to see a movie based on food? Yet.. there are few pictures I enjoy more than this one. I am not a SMG fan, but in this motion picture Sarah is absolutely perfectly cast. It is her 13 Going On 30 role!
I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. And I'm a bigger fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar/Prinze so maybe I'm a little biased when it comes to this movie.Okay, so there are some pretty big flaws. But compared to most "chick flick" romantic comedies released these past couple years, Simply Irresistible is just simply much more enjoyable. The plot is simple, (wow, I need to use a thesaurus) but somehow it brings out the more romantic part in me. We've got these two beautiful actors, a magic crab, and voilà! They fall in love. Not all movies have to be complex and "deep" in order to be enjoyable and this movie proves just that. Light, fun, fairytale romance. What girl wouldn't say "awwwweh" to that?
If you love food, you will love this movie. This movie is very simple and light hearted. This movie reminds me about the old proverb, a man's heart is through his stomach, which is definitely true.This movie does not have much reality into it, but I can definitely say that, I will definitely get attracted to a girl who is a brilliant cook.I recommend this movie to all people who are food lovers and guys whose girlfriends & wives are brilliant cook.I love good food !And I love this movie.
