Look hungry

Overseas reviews: The film has outstanding advantages. The wonderful performances of veteran actors make the characters vivid and lively. The food scenes are tempting and convey the food culture. The theme is warm and profound. However, there are also shortcomings. The romantic subplot is old-fashioned and the stories of supporting characters are not explored enough. Overall, viewers who like warm comedies and food culture should not miss it. When watching, they can focus on the actors' performances and the emotions behind the food.

So warm! Don't let old hurts get in the way of a happy new beginning!!

There are so many movies about food and love. This one has nothing new except the grandma who cooks. The whole movie is a sugar-coated fairy tale. The three stars are for the original intention of this restaurant in the real world and the grandmas who cook on the small platform.

The taste of mom’s food is both Chinese and Western.

Oh my god, my appetite was aroused at the beginning of the film, and my mouth was full of saliva. However, as a light comedy, the film does not have many funny moments, and only a few places can make you laugh. The director is more focused on creating a touching and warm atmosphere. The happy ending of the restaurant's booming business can be guessed, but I really wasn't moved. Only the real photo of Maria's restaurant at the end of the film is a bit eye-catching. This restaurant has been in business for 15 years? I wonder how many generations of grandmas have changed? The quality of the film is okay, but I don't think it can reach the level of 4 stars. 3 stars and 6.5 points, delete it!

What a heartwarming movie. The actors acted very realistically and well.

Adapted from real events, it is very warm and has some comedy elements. The actors are all great and the plot is very lifelike, which is also where it touches people. The story tells that the male protagonist's mother died. After returning to his hometown, in order to miss his mother, he opened a restaurant that mainly uses old ladies as chefs, promoting a taste of home and also has the meaning of inheritance. During this period, he must have experienced the misunderstanding of his family, the market's unpopularity, and some small internal conflicts. The ending must be that everyone works together to create a better tomorrow, and it has also been recognized by the outside world. The male protagonist even gained love, which is still relatively templated and very chicken soup, but the camera language is okay, the soundtrack is good, and there are many Italian folk songs, which can make the audience better immersed in the plot. However, compared with the male protagonist's entrepreneurial process, I personally prefer the display of several old lady chefs, especially the part where they sit down and chat, which fully shows the difficulties they face at this age. This is not only the gradual death of people around them, or the lack of care from their families, but also includes no goals in life, and the inability to find the belief to live on. This restaurant also gave them a new direction.
