【劇情介紹】
主廚凱特阿姆斯壯(凱薩琳麗塔瓊斯飾)在位於曼哈頓區的高級餐廳布立克22裡工作，在她的廚房裡，沒有胡鬧愚蠢的氣氛，同事們像是著迷似的認真地處理烹飪的每一個過程。她拘泥於每個細節，她的精力似乎來自於忙碌的輪班工作，處理上百個餐點，準備清淡鮮美的醬料、沙拉佐料，以及極盡完美的表現每道燉煮餐點。

凱特僅離開她的廚房聖地去接受顧客對她的讚許，或是，在極少的場合中她會爲那些質疑她廚藝的顧客爭論。工作結束後，幾近午夜時刻她上床睡覺，破曉時刻便起身前往魚市去選擇新鮮漁貨。

而當率性的二廚被邀請加入團隊，凱特的完美主義面臨考驗。自豪無約束的尼克帕爾門(亞倫艾克哈特飾) 像是一顆閃耀的廚藝之星般，喜歡在工作的時候聽歌劇，讓身邊的同事能盡情地在愉悅的情緒與氣氛下工作，他的生活方式和料理幾近與凱特大不同。但不可否認的，他們之間卻像觸電般地產生些微變化，如同刀叉在冷酷無情的工作平台上發出鏗鏘的聲音有種不協調的感覺。

對凱特言，如果在工作之餘的生活可以取得平衡感，那或許較容易處理工作上的問題。在一場意外後，她必須要照顧9歲大的姪女柔伊(艾碧貝絲琳飾)，並且生活在一起。她聰穎機伶，喜歡平實的炸魚條多過於鵝肝醬的豪華食物。柔伊讓凱特的生活次序混亂，而凱特則盡力讓柔伊感覺有家的溫暖。

幾週過去，凱特仍無法確定她自己為何感到混亂，尼克的才能被布立克22餐廳的老闆寶拉(派翠西亞克拉森飾)看重，甚至顧客還特別指名要感謝尼克的好廚藝，尼克的大而化之的個性，也很快且簡單的讓害羞的柔伊敞開心胸，而那些是她無法做到的。

工作的競爭與浪漫的感情，讓凱特不知何從。那是許久以來第一次，過去她的選擇與相信是如此的讓她對自我的生活充滿著安全感與自信。

如果她想要與柔伊的關係更加緊密，找到與尼克之間相處的愉悅，以及重新發現她生活的喜好，她勢必要大膽嘗試廚房以外的新鮮事物，學習表達內心自我。對凱特而言，她希望能不用食譜也可以烹飪出一道道完美的佳餚。

No Reservations (film)

Plot

Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a master chef who lives her life like she runs the kitchen at the upscale Greenwich Village restaurant, 22 Bleecker: with an intensity that intimidates everyone around her. Her boss, Paula (Patricia Clarkson), believes she is too serious and not able to express her emotional states. Because of this, she jokingly enlists Kate in therapy, otherwise she will fire her if she chooses not to comply. More at ease behind the scenes, she unwillingly leaves the kitchen's sanctuary only to accept compliments from a regular diner or, on rare occasions, to tangle with a customer who questions her expertise. To rest her nervousness and sometimes anger, she takes host in the kitchen freezer. Most nights find her in bed before midnight, set to rise at dawn to beat her competition to the fish market for the next day's freshest selections.

When her sister is killed in an car accident, her niece, Zoe, (Abigail Breslin) unexpectedly comes to live with her. Mourning constantly about her sister's death during work, Paula orders Kate to take a week off. When she returns she realizes Paula has subsituted a partner for her job, the brash, high-spirited sous-chef Nicholas Palmer (Aaron Eckhart). To calm Zoe's depression from her mother, Kate brings her along to the restaurant on certain nights. As time passes, Kate is unsure what bothers her more — that Nick's talent scores with 22 Bleecker's owner Paula and its discriminating clientèle, or that his easygoing charm quickly wins over the shy Zoe, who finds it easier to open up to him than to her aunt. Unfortunately, Zoe refuses to eat anything Kate puts on the table and she is surprised when she sees her eating some of Nick's famous noodles from a recipe his grandmother taught him.

One afternoon, Kate forgets to pick up Zoe from school and to make it up to her, Kate invites Nick over for dinner on Zoe's request. During the dinner, when Zoe is sleeping, Kate and Nick express their feelings for each other and kiss. As weeks pass, the three spend much time together and Kate and Nick's relationship goes on. When Nick challenges the boundary between rivalry and romance, Kate finds herself questioning her many professional and personal beliefs that she has always embraced while also faced with difficult choices regarding Zoe's future.

After discovering that her boss was going to replace her with Nick, Kate quarrels with him and he quits. Later, Kate learns that Nick had declined the head chef's job. Without Nick visiting, Zoe starts to miss her mother more and runs away. Kate calls Nick, and they search for Zoe, finding her at the cemetery by her mother's grave.

After seeing them home, Nick tells Kate that he accepted a job in San Francisco. They part, and Kate returns to work at the restaurant, but quits after being unable to tolerate an unreasonable customer (merely complaining about an assumed non-rare steak). She goes to see Nick and tells him that she cannot bear for him to leave. They get together and open a new restaurant, with Zoe helping out.

【心得】

     　這部片我並不是從頭開始看，拿著遙控器隨便轉到電影台然後被影片中的家的佈置以及生活態度給深深吸引著，然後就把這部片看完了。喜歡這部電影不是因為劇情安排也不是角色的英俊與美麗，而是整部片中散發出來的生活與情感互動的感覺。如果要評論整齣戲的安排是否完美，或著劇情穿插是否連貫得當我想這部片還是比其他經典電影有段距離，必須說老實話，這部片就跟一般「愛情電影」相同，沒有什麼特別的。

　　但，片中環境的佈置、衣著的打扮、生活的態度都是完全與我「理想中的生活」不謀而合，所以深深的讓我著迷。



　　隨著劇情的進行，我也看的入迷，在留意劇情的發展外，我也注意ＫＡＴＥ的家裡佈置，柔和的光線、舒適的棉被與床、典雅又完美的書桌與ＺＯＥ房間的娃娃區與氣質窗簾、客廳的沙發與淡藍色的壁漆．．．所有的一切一切都擺設安排的讓我好喜歡，好想擁有這樣一個家。

　　

　　衣著打扮也是讓我相當喜歡的另一個部分，簡單俐落的服裝、自然又舒服的髮型也都是我相當嚮往的。不用花大把時間在整理衣服、決定髮型上，就這樣很自然與從容的生活。生活態度方面，做菜聽歌劇沒有滿頭大汗以及急躁的感覺，取而代之的是閒適享受做飯與吃飯這件事；端著咖啡杯也搭配音樂....所有的一切都是那麼輕鬆。ＫＡＴＥ對於工作的專業與堅持也是我相當欣賞的，專心在工作上，堅持在工作付出全力，做足工作的準備，工作結束後享受和放鬆於自我的家庭生活之中。ＫＡＴＥ與ＺＯＥ的枕頭大戰與電影陪伴的畫面、ＫＡＴＥ端著自己親手做的食物給ＮＩＣＫ維持簡單的情感、ＮＩＣＫ、ＫＡＴＥ這與ＺＯＥ三個人一起在帳棚內玩ｐｉｃｋ　ｕｐ與吃點心的那些以及最後結局三人的店面動人畫面，都ｐｉｃｔｕｒｅ出我所嚮往的生活就這麼如此的簡單及擁有自我的價值。





●一起準備煎餅的情感




●枕頭大戰與窩在床上玩大富翁的感情也讓我好喜歡



●專注與認真的態度也好喜愛


　　
　　真的很喜歡，這部片讓我動心要去買ＤＶＤ來收藏。
