This is one of my favorite movies of all times. Excellent acting, production, settings and the food just makes you drool throughout the movie. The book was written by Laura Esquivel, who always writes romantic fantasies intertwined with supernatural events and spirituality. This movie is a classic and I recommend everyone to see it.

There is a scene when one of her sisters runs out to meet her true love that is one of my all-time favorite love scenes in a movie. It deals with magic, so don't get put off if you think something just couldn't happen in real life. That's the point. It's a movie about the power of love and the power of emotions.

This film should be seen by everyone over twelve. If you can open your mind to some unusual imagination and creativity, you will love this film. I also recommend the book.

The novel is great, the movie is just so-so. The acting is painful to watch, but somehow the story makes up for it. It's a very innocent, magical kind of story that young women will love. Not for everyone though and definitely not a hollywood-type movie.
