Critic Reviews

Old-fashioned and obvious, yes, like a featherweight comedy from the 1950s. But that's the charm.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The result is sometimes enchanting, but, more often than not, it's frustrating, because the disparate elements of the plot never quite gel.Full Review

James Berardinelli
ReelViews

It's a movie, a goofy little movie. Not so bad, but as far as food and sensuality go, ``Like Water for Chocolate'' still has the edge.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

It is a measure of the shortcomings of this genial, well-meaning but ultimately unenchanting film that scene after scene is stolen by the second bananas.Full Review

Lawrence Van Gelder
The New York Times

When the enchanted crab is the most appealing character in a movie, you know you're in some serious metaphoric hot water.Full Review
