Tortilla Soup (2001) A retired Mexican American chef and the father of 3 adult daughters tries to find a way through life. They are all looking for love and struggling with new directions. Along they way they find their anchors in their family.
So what's the worst thing I can say about this movie? It's utterly predictable. Why not? Ang Lee had already written the movie once before in "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman". There's absolutely nothing that will surprise you in this movie. Nothing.
What's the best thing I can say about this movie? The cast is warm and wonderful and easy to like. They are talented and carry forward a predictable story beautifully. Kudos to Hector Elizondo, Elizabeth Pena, Raquel Welch and even Paul Rodriguez in a small role. The whole cast does a nice job without much to work with.
Watch the movie for the cast. And to drool over the food.
Rating - *** Worth A Look
