This doesn't really help, but Burnt was pretty dull too.tragabigzanda wrote:Has there been a stellar fictitious film about food besides Ratatouille? Chef, Chocolat, and Spanglish are all pretty dull. The Trip movies are ok, but they're more of a spoof of the culture. The Milagro Beanfield War is pretty great, but that's sort of a stretch.

I keep waiting for Drafthouse to have a showing of "Ravenous" here, but no luck so far.

But then again, I like Chocolat quite a bit and find Ratatouille mediocre.
