Johnny Depp was his usual scruffy self as skipper of a leaky boat - haha. I do like all his films btw.<br /><br />Louis de Funés played in a film as a food critic who was stuffed nearly to death bec he dared critize. That was one nauseous film - uhh !<br /><br />Some films do focus on food or cakes that would make u drool - hehe. The romance is just a bonus for the (female)viewers :-)<br /><br />There was a chinese film titled "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" - yes, it's rather lame but the chef showed so many yummy dishes that I wished it would go on n on ! <br /><br />Besides films, I also enjoyed watching TV chefs. The recipes r hard to emulate but it helps to inspire an otherwise burnt-out cook like me.<br /><br />Do u give Nina a hand or some days off from the kitchen ? Mine would hv 10 plausible reasons why he just couldnt *sigh*Dutchienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738516321598278692.post-44584195358427113942009-05-12T14:25:00.000+01:002009-05-12T14:25:00.000+01:00Dutchie: thanks!

There was one French film in which the guests, all intellectuals, invite a rather simple chap to dinner, to basically make fun of him, and somehow he turns the tables on them. As you can see, I'm terrible with names... Haven't seen the one you mention, though.
