Jorge: Thanks for sharing. I know it isn’t easy for a man who writes a horror blog and a WWE blog to admit in public that he liked a romantic comedy. Your new site design looks sharp.

Dad: Watching the film a second time, it occurred to me that the daughters barely touch the food; there’s usually some kind of unspoken tension at the table instead. This could be interpreted as taking their family for granted.

Moviezzz: That joke must have come along during the Will Ferrell/Cheri Oteri/Chris Kattan era and could be the funniest thing said on Saturday Night Live all year. I can’t believe I’ve seen a movie you haven’t. I highly recommend adding this one to your rental queue.

Craig: I suddenly got in the mood for sweet and sour shrimp just by reading your comment.

Patricia: I haven’t seen Babette’s Feast. Thanks for adding another one onto my rental queue.

It’s one of those really yummy movies, along with “Babette’s Feast”

Very nice review of a terrific film. Makes me want to watch it again…and eat Chinese.

Great review.

The thing I remember most about the film (which, come to think of it, I don’t remember if I ever saw) was a joke that came out at the time of its release.

On I think it was Saturday Night Live, they described the title as being inspired by how Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Maria Shriver out to dinner.

I can’t think of the film without remembering that joke.

Dear # 1 son,
Thought this was a classic review of a great film.
The use of food as a metaphor means of loving expression is something that would have escaped lesser appetites for thought and truth.

If you’re on the run, make mine to go.

Dad
