January 28, 2010Funny and charming, but not as good as the original version of Ang Lee's. But the cooking is good and will make you hungry just watching them eat their dinners.

March 17, 2009Hector was as expected"Brillant!"...but this movie was unfortunate and a little sad in comparison to the original,"Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" which was beautiful and masterful in it's storytelling. Oh well, I did not like it.

January 18, 2009Awesome cast. Food looked so beautiful and delicious. Good to see a movie with Latino main characters. Great movie for everyone.

December 26, 2008A nice movie about a wonderful chef and father, living with 3 adult daughters. A nice change of pace movie for me!

November 16, 2008I really liked this movie, the characters and relationships were interesting as well as seeing the preparation of all the Mexican Cuisine!

July 17, 2008Same story, same plot, same characters, same everything, different ethnicity. (as "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman)

February 25, 2008I remember one of the girls being kind of good looking. And Elizondo going all sensitive and shit. Not in a bad way.

June 8, 2007This wasn't bad. Hector Elizondo was amazing, as always, but I just wan't feeling this one too much.

Thanks to a perfectly blended ensemble led by Hector Elizondo, in his best screen role to date, Tortilla Soup is a warm-blooded winner with equal emphasis placed on taste buds and heartstrings. Full Review

If your erotic inclinations tilt toward the table, Tortilla Soup will probably offer nothing short of hardcore pleasure. If not, but see it you must, close your eyes and think of other appetites. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
The writers have swiped Lee's basic premise and main characters, while pretty much ignoring his skill and sensitivity. Full Review

A filling but unoriginal dish.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
It's so brimful of life you can't say no.
November 1, 2001
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
With its hammy moments and unending cuteness, Tortilla Soup is comfort food where Eat Drink Man Woman was spicier and more exotic.
October 19, 2001
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Its attributes and achievements are modest, but its arias, duets, and ensembles are engaging all the same.

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Makes you famished for spice-rubbed whole fish and lamb with orange salsa while it amply feeds your soul.
