Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The tantalizing genre of food films--stretching from Babette's Feast to Big Night and beyond--has a delicious new addition, Tortilla Soup. The food-preparation scenes will make your mouth water. Fortunately, the rest of the movie holds up as well. Hector Elizondo plays Martin, a widowed chef who is losing both his sense of taste and control over his three daughters: Leticia (the always superb Elizabeth Peña), a religious schoolteacher; Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), a successful but unhappy businesswoman still carrying on an affair with her ex-boyfriend; and Maribel (Tamara Mello), a rebellious teen falling in love with a young Brazilian. When a pushy, nosy, but very sexy widow named Hortensia (Raquel Welch) comes along, the troublesome subcurrents in the family start to surface. Elizondo's understated gravitas anchors the story, while the three sisters have sex, eat amazing-looking food, and break plates in the kitchen. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Tortilla Soup, A Delectable Treat
A widowed chef who's lost his sense of taste deals with his three daughters leaving the nest in this warm, charming, often humorous film. Hector Elizondo's performance is masterful, and the cooking scenes are true visual treats. Tortilla Soup is a crossover film that will appeal to people across the spectrum.

There is also a movie w/ same theme with an Asian family, Nice story, good acting.
Rating:  - How did this get a PG-13 rating?
VERY, VERY heavy on sexual innuendo from beginning to end,it is hard to imagine how this movie got a PG-13 rating. The movie is fun and funny, but definitely not appropriate for classroom viewing.

Love this movie. Even though the script is from Eat Drink Man Woman they are different. Each is suppose to bring their own flavor. In some ways this selection reminds me of What's Cooking (also an excellent movie) and I really wish hollyweird would produce more movies with multicultural themes and actors. It would certainly be a change from the norm. No matter how many times I've seen this movie I enjoy watching it as though it were my 1st time.
Rating: - Not to Be Missed Hot and Spicey Film
This tremendously entertaining, funny, and enjoyable film is based on the original Ang Lee production, "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" which came out in 1994. While "Tortilla Soup" stays within the boundaries of the original screen play as written by Hui-Ling Want, Ang Lee, and James Schamus ... the differences are palpable and obvious. First, "Tortilla Soup" is set in California and the cultural background of the family is Mexican-American. Martin Naranjo (played to perfection by Hector Elizondo) is the retired chef and widowed father who chops, cooks, and creates the most magnificent, delicious, and spicey *Mexican* meals this side of the Rio Grande. He is the loving father of three adult daughters whom he single-handedly raised after his wife died fifteen years ago. Carmen, his oldest daughter who wanted to walk in her father's footsteps and become a chef but she ended up earning an M.B.A. in order to please him (secretly she loves to create new meals and dishes). Leticia ("Letty"), the middle daughter is more plain looking and a high school teacher whose subject is chemistry. She teaches at a public high school. Maribella, the youngest daughter is more modern and does not have a job yet. She has been accepted to the local University but is contemplating "finding herself" and discovering her interests .. especially after she meets André, a handsome young Brazilian, living in a studio apartment, who seems to live a care-free existence in the USA.
Martin loves to prepare the weekly Sunday ... Read More
