I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Very Cool!!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Don't Believe the Hype

This movie is about how life used to be in Mexico. It is a love story between Pedro and Tita, and why they couldn't get married because Tita's mother wanted her oldest daughter to get married first, and have Tita to stay and take care of her. It shows how marriage was imposed on those times, and how a love between two people can change everything.This is supposed to be a great film, but for me it just did not resonate. I appreciate the movie to a point, and it is good to see a film from Mexico (the country needs a bigger industry, perhaps). Most of all, I love that apparently Robert Rodriguez hung around the set before becoming an A-list director for Hollywood.But overall, this is not one that really had any impact on me whatsoever, so I can only give it a middling grade.

This movie requires the viewer to accept an absurdity that I'm simply unable to accept. The supposed family tradition that forbids the youngest daughter's marrying so that she can devote her whole life to caring for her mother is totally unbelievable.The tradition itself is stupid enough, but the fact that the daughter just meekly accepts such capricious and despicable treatment, when there's a houseful of servants to cater to the mother's every whim, makes the condition even more absurd and the spineless daughter totally unsympathetic. Who cares what happens to a person with so little self-respect?Suspension of disbelief is one thing, but I am unable to force myself to swallow such a preposterous contrivance just to make this silly story work.

Watching the movie Like Water For Chocolate was a disappointing experience for me. After I had read the very gripping and interesting book I was looking forward to the movie. I was excited to see how the creators of the movie were going to show the most interesting part of the book, the magical realism. To my dismay i was deeply disappointed when I saw the magical realism "scenes" in the movie. The parts in the movie with magical realism were too short and random. A few examples are; when she wore the knitted blanket and it was ridiculously long, or when Tita's tears were shown dripping down the steps. The scenes seemed like they were add ons to the movie that were unnecessary. I found that the magical realism actually took away from the story in the movie. It Distanced the viewer from the characters, making them difficult to relate to. Conversely in the novel the magical realism did not take away from the story but it did not significantly add anything to the story. The movie also was lacking in depth beyond the external plot. In the book there were many underlying meanings hidden in the text. But because the acting was so terrible in the movie it felt like a soap, that meant nothing more than the crumby lines being shoved in the actors mouths. To summarize, if anyone is interested in watching this film I recommend reading the book.

Though I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, Like Water for Chocolate, I thought that the movie was extremely disappointing and reminded me of really terrible and overly-dramatic soap operas. The portrayal of the use of magical realism very realistically in the movie really took away from the experience of watching it. The addition of music could have made or broken this movie, and in this case, I believe it made dramatic and heart- wrenching moments from the book seem laughable. The dramatization of cooking in the movie seemed to be a mindless chore, unrelated to the plot, very much in contrast to the emotional release experienced by Tita while cooking in the novel. I was also quite unable to relate to any of the characters as they were portrayed in the film. They all appeared, to me, very one-sided and unoriginal. The depiction of the Mexican Revolution disgusted me, and should have been taken far more seriously, in my opinion. Laura Esquivel should probably stick to writing novels, not screenplays.
