Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The tantalizing genre of food films--stretching from Babette's Feast to Big Night and beyond--has a delicious new addition, Tortilla Soup. The food-preparation scenes will make your mouth water. Fortunately, the rest of the movie holds up as well. Hector Elizondo plays Martin, a widowed chef who is losing both his sense of taste and control over his three daughters: Leticia (the always superb Elizabeth Peña), a religious schoolteacher; Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), a successful but unhappy businesswoman still carrying on an affair with her ex-boyfriend; and Maribel (Tamara Mello), a rebellious teen falling in love with a young Brazilian. When a pushy, nosy, but very sexy widow named Hortensia (Raquel Welch) comes along, the troublesome subcurrents in the family start to surface. Elizondo's understated gravitas anchors the story, while the three sisters have sex, eat amazing-looking food, and break plates in the kitchen. --Bret Fetzer

- Tortilla Soup, A Delectable Treat
A widowed chef who's lost his sense of taste deals with his three daughters leaving the nest in this warm, charming, often humorous film. Hector Elizondo's performance is masterful, and the cooking scenes are true visual treats. Tortilla Soup is a crossover film that will appeal to people across the spectrum.

- How did this get a PG-13 rating?
VERY, VERY heavy on sexual innuendo from beginning to end,it is hard to imagine how this movie got a PG-13 rating. The movie is fun and funny, but definitely not appropriate for classroom viewing.

Love this movie. Even though the script is from Eat Drink Man Woman they are different. Each is suppose to bring their own flavor. In some ways this selection reminds me of What's Cooking (also an excellent movie) and I really wish hollyweird would produce more movies with multicultural themes and actors. It would certainly be a change from the norm. No matter how many times I've seen this movie I enjoy watching it as though it were my 1st time.
