'The Hundred-Foot Journey' Receives Mixed Reviews

The Hundred-Foot Journey is one very hot and spicy topic as the film which is focused around food and culture receives a barrage of mixed reviews from critics.

See what some of the critics are saying about the film below.

"At its core, The Hundred-Foot Journey is a movie about good food, and one man's passion for cooking.

Despite some pacing issues (the story goes from too slow to way too fast in the flip of a pancake), it's still a satisfying alternative to the violent, big-budget blockbusters that flood the silver screen every summer," says Sean Tepper of The Globe and Mail.

"Adding mom's special spices to traditional dishes proves a sensation and he becomes a success and has inner conflicts and some other stuff happens.

One of the characters, no doubt alluding to Proust, says, 'Food is memories.' Unfortunately, this is one movie about food that I'm forgetting already," says Peter Keough of The Boston Globe.

"Except even in comfort food there's a difference between something made from scratch, and something that comes out of a box. And "The Hundred-Foot Journey" still tastes of powdered cheese," says Stephen Witty of The Star-Ledger.

"It would be curmudgeonly to count all the ways in which The Hundred-Foot Journey is unsurprising, unrealistic, unnecessary.

Another food-centric romance with an Indian menu, The Lunchbox, enjoyed much-deserved success on the arthouse circuit this spring," says Steven Rae of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

According to IMDB's synopsis of "The Hundred-Foot Journey,""The Kadam family clashes with Madame Mallory, proprietress of a celebrated French restaurant, after they open their own nearby eatery, until undeniable chemistry causes the Madame to take gifted young chef Hassan under her wing."
