This movie is about a Brazilian girl who has the gift of cooking exotic dishes that have mesmerizing effects. She comes to San Fransisco searching for something new after a problem with her husband. She ends up becoming the ravishing hostess of a food show on TV.
Highlight of the movie is the extraordinary music. Unbelievably good tunes from South America. Ms. Cruz is good but does not look too involved. I think she is overrated as an actress and proves it in this movie.
There is a lot of magic happening in the movie which keeps things interesting. There isn't enough story to go about. And one hopes against odds that one wouldn't see the cliche of her being disillusioned with the big media. But alas the movie is just not upto the task enough.
