Amazon.co.uk Review

Food, life and love share a common lineage going back to antiquity, and Tortilla Soup remakes the connection with pathos and humour. The scenario of three daughters trying to make the break with their domineering father might sound heavy-going, but Hector Elizondo is wonderfully understated as Martin--the patriarchal father who conveys his love through the opulent Mexican lunches he prepares for his daughters each Sunday. The daughters are full of character and are a well-contrasted trio: Leticia (Elizabeth Peña), school-teacher and devout Christian whose life is transformed by the love letters she starts receiving; Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), business graduate and rising executive whose real goal is to convince her father of her culinary prowess; and Maribel (Tamara Mello), keen to put college on hold and see the world with her new boyfriend. The interaction between them has a theatrical immediacy, and there are excellent contributions from Nikolai Kinsky as Brazilian free-spirit Andy, Paul Rodriquez as gauche baseball coach Orlando and Raquel Welch as the cringingly over-the-top Hortensia. Director María Ripoli gets some persuasive ensemble acting--making the most of a witty and touching script—-along with Mexican cuisine prepared under the supervision of specialist chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger. As a movie about growing-up and taking control, Tortilla Soup is as irresistible as the food you'll see on screen--and equally worth savouring. --Richard Whitehouse

4.0 out of 5 stars Love to Cook? Tortilla Soup is a visual delight., 31 Aug 2002
Tortilla Soup is an uncomplicated light hearted look at the life of a single father, Hector Elizondo, and his relationships with his 3 very different daughters. A chef by trade, he spends hours, preparing sumptuous feasts of traditional Mexican food for the girls, but each time they sit down to eat, someone speaks the ominous words "I have an announcement to make."
Raquel Welch is hysterical as his voluptuous would-be paramour.
This film left me with a huge smile and a light heart - just what the doctor ordered.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'I have something to tell you', 9 Mar 2009
This review is from: Tortilla Soup [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
Whenever those words appear in this movie you know that you are in for trouble. The fact that they always raise their ugly heads (as in the real world) over a meal, lovingly prepared by a parent for a child's delectation makes this all the more poignant. This is a remake of Ang Lee's Eat Drink Man Woman (as I remember) but works just as well and is none the worse for it. If you like food and gentle, family feud this is one for you. The lynch pin is the performance of Hector Elizondo - a much underrated actor - his passion for food is his escape from the vaguaries of his children (all female) and the problems they, literally, bring to the table. His quiet frustration and gentle confusion as beautiful meal after beautiful meal is left virtually untouched is a delight. A great movie for a gentle afternoon's entertainment.
