I did a search and found a thread with Peas anticipating the film, but wondered if anyone had any feedback to offer after seeing it. One Pea had mentioned far too much detail of animal slaughter in the book. Is this the case with the film, as well? Just wondering whether I should spend the money or choose another movie. TIA!

DH and I saw it last night and loved it! I always enjoy "food porn" and this has it in spades. Makes me want to return to France ASAP. There was no animal slaughter that I recall.

We saw it opening weekend and loved everything about it. I don't remember anything about animal slaughter, but that's not a guarantee. There are market and kitchen scenes showing dead animals. The movie is a lot about cooking.  |

Saw it when it first came out and loved it. I've recommended it to all my foodie friends. And travel lovers. The scenery is gorgeous. I don't think my DH would've liked it but I'll watch it again with the kids when on DVD. It has a great message about learning from each other's cultures that I loved.

I was the pea who hated the book because of the graphic detail of butchery. I'm sensitive to that. Very sensitive. I can barely stand commercials showing someone cutting a steak, much less dead carcasses or chopping of them.
I may not be the best judge.

Food Porn definitely...
But the story was dull... totally predictable.
It is beautifully shot.
I wouldn't recommend it but if you love food.. enjoy!

My BFF and I loved it. As mentioned already, the scenery is fantastic. It made me want to take time to explore the French countryside one day.
There's some humor that we enjoyed, plus Helen Mirren is a master at conveying emotion without saying a word.

Not a book reader, so cannot comment on that.
My DH and I saw this a couple weeks ago and loved it. No swearing, no nudity. Just a feel-good when you leave the theater movie. I would see it again in a heartbeat. My DH even said he would see it again if I wanted to go.

Love, love, loved it. Saw it with my grown daughter and husband while on vacation in Chicago. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Thanks, everyone! I saw it this evening and loved it. I absolutely adore France, so the scenery alone made it worthwhile. The great story line was an added bonus. Thanks so much for the encouraging opinions. |

Saw it Friday night. I really liked it. I love Hellen Mirren, and the 2 young actors were great - the French girl is beautiful! I liked the father's character as well. I would recommend it.
