Movie recommendation
The Hundred Foot Journey with Helen Mirren: if you have a chance to see this movie, do so. It's not fast paced, there are no car crashes or sexy goings on...just plain good acting, pretty scenery and a heartwarming story set in France. It's taken from a book and produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey. It's a quality movie. A friend and I went to see it tonight. We usually go to the 4 o'clock movie. This time of necessity we went to the 6:30 movie..a whole different crowd...nothing but pizza and popcorn surrounding us.RoseyP

Maybe they were extra hungry because of the film. I saw an interview with Helen and she suggested making reservations at a good restaurant for after the movie.
It's true, Laura, the food was the focus and the movie hasn't had good reviews but at my age and stage of life, I don't see the need to go to movies where there is a lot of sloppy sex where I have to watch close-ups of people groping each other, or car crashes that make my ears ache, or science fiction where some strange and weird things are happening to people, it was a no stress movie that was pleasant and enjoyable. The food-fare at movies is mind-curdling but I can't eat dairy and I don't eat fast food stuff but I was surrounded by the smell of buttered popcorn which I know lots of folks enjoy. It's an enjoyable, no stress movie that is set in a fantasy that I can accept. The acting was good, it was a feel-good movie. Guess that's right up my alley, these days.

Sounds like my kind of movie too. Thanks for the review Rosey.
Thanks Rosey,I plan on going to see this ,anything with Helen Mirren is usually my kind of movie. I have favourite actors and go by who is in the film.
I went last Monday 4pm with 2 GF's. I loved it too.
Again, tired of the "F" word and sex scenes. Too loud, and too many previews of shootings and car chases.
I stopped on the was home, bought some extra-large eggs and made a cheese omelet for dinner for myself, as DH had a meeting. (There is a scene about omelets) Beautiful scenery, lovely movie.
Go if you get the chance.

Haven't quite finished the book (which I am enjoying) and will see the movie when I'm done.
I have loved all the french words even though I can't pronounce them.
