Simple, but occasionally sympathetic film that also tries to analyze relationships in and outside of marriage. For a large audience, possibly with a handkerchief, because this is not a pure comedy.
Still a decent score because of the recognizable, sometimes witty situations.

Not worth seeing; had, looking at the given score, expected something more from this!

Meh.
I knew little about the film beforehand. Had I known this narrative was glued to it, I probably wouldn't have set it up. Unfortunately I was already in the middle of it when I found out about this. I had mainly thought that the restaurant itself would be central, but in the end it is more the lives of the people who walk around in it.
The acting is decent and in between we have some cute moments, but otherwise I thought it was all a bit bland. It was a movie that just went on and on without really getting me into it. Some relevant themes are thrown in, but nothing that really catches on because of the slightly too distant directing. This one is mainly focused on the romance, but because of this the really better, slightly heavier parts are left a bit bare.
I don't need to say much more about it. I can't say I was bored to death, but I can say I wasn't blown away by it. If you asked me a question about this movie a week after I finished the movie, I honestly couldn't tell you anything more about it.
