Movie Reviews of Tortilla Soup
Movie Review: Young educated Latino women
Summary: 4 Stars
The world is an hard place for people who grew up in east LA?
Caught between cultures with a father who makes every meal
an artistic master piece, the lives of these three daughters
go better than many others in our culture.
The Spanish-Latino culture old maids are those
who never found their Don Juan.
Summary of Tortilla Soup
Three grown sisters try to cope with thier father who has one simple rule: be at home for sunday dinner. Attendance is mandatory and non-negotiable. Tradition is not to be messed with. Heated talk of course is as common as jalapenos. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Hector Elizondo Elizabeth Pena Run time: 103 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Maria RipollThe tantalizing genre of food films--stretching from Babette's Feast to Big Night and beyond--has a delicious new addition, Tortilla Soup. The food-preparation scenes will make your mouth water. Fortunately, the rest of the movie holds up as well. Hector Elizondo plays Martin, a widowed chef who is losing both his sense of taste and control over his three daughters: Leticia (the always superb Elizabeth Pe?a), a religious schoolteacher; Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), a successful but unhappy businesswoman still carrying on an affair with her ex-boyfriend; and Maribel (Tamara Mello), a rebellious teen falling in love with a young Brazilian. When a pushy, nosy, but very sexy widow named Hortensia (Raquel Welch) comes along, the troublesome subcurrents in the family start to surface. Elizondo's understated gravitas anchors the story, while the three sisters have sex, eat amazing-looking food, and break plates in the kitchen. --Bret Fetzer
