I haven't been to the movies for a few weeks, but the last movie I saw, The Hundred-Foot Journey, I actually saw twice in a row. :) The Thursday before my trip to California, I went to see the movie with MT, then I saw it again with my sister on Saturday. I really did like it enough to see it twice in three days; I've thought about going to see it again (but don't tell my mom. She would freak out.)
What did I like so much about the film? For one thing, it was very beautiful. Lasse Hallstrom directed it and he makes beautiful movies that make you want to visit the location where the story takes place. The story in this film takes place in France, like another film Hallstrom directed, Chocolat, that made me want to go to a small French village. So number one, the film is visually appealing for the location.
Second, Helen Mirren. She's great and I love to watch her in movies. She seems so classy.
Third, I like food movies and books and TV shows. This film is about an Indian family that has always had a restaurant and they end up in this gorgeous French village and happen to open their restaurant across the street from a Michelin star restaurant. I admit that I wanted to eat at the Indian restaurant much more than at the fancy French place.
Fourth, the story and characters are sweet. The dad of the Indian family is delightful. The feud between Madame Mallory and Papa is comical and to watch them turn from competitors to friends is great. The relationship between Hassan and Marguerite, ahhh, it's lovely.
Finally, the people in the film were very attractive.

I mean, look at him!
Please make another movie soon. I will go see it!
So if you are looking for a nice film to watch, I really suggest The Hundred-Foot Journey. It will make you smile, make you want to go to France and probably make you hungry, too.

I definitely want to watch this movie (once). But there's so many movies and books that I haven't seen or read that I rather want to try to find a hidden gem than seeing the same gem over and over.
I have seen a few movies twice, but not right away, usually I let a few months or years go by :)
