Kate is the master chef at a trendy Manhattan restaurant. She runs her kitchen at a rapid pace as she coordinates the making and preparing of all the fantastic meals and personally displays the food to perfection on every dish. She intimidates everyone around her, so her boss sends her to therapy. Kate hates to leave the kitchen when a customer wants to compliment her on one of her special dishes, but she is ready to leave the kitchen in a second when a customer insults her cooking. Kate's sister is killed in a car accident and her nine-year old daughter Zoe moves in with Kate. With all of Kate's problems, the boss hires a new chef to join the staff. Nick is a rising star in his own right and could be the head chef of another restaurant, but he wants to work under Kate. Kate begins to feel threatened by Nick, because he has a different style of running the kitchen. Nick loves to listen to opera when he cooks and to make the staff laugh. With all that is going on in Kate's life, falling for a man is the last thing she was looking for.

Comedy turns out to be a drama

What I loved most: story outside the drama
What I really hated: the drama
Well, according to the trailers the movie was sold as a fresh and cheeky comedy that has it all to make the audience laugh and enjoy themselves at least for ard 90 min. Was was actually delivered in the end becomes very much apparent after ard 5 min into the movie: a heavy melodramatic drama about Jones becoming the surrogate mother of her dead sister's daughter. And this plot is prevailing the entire movie, any comedy part, joke is nipped in the bud right away. For the next time the director better makes up his mind what's it gonna be prior starting to shoot the movie. Frankly, I feel very much cheated.
