The Hundred Foot Journey is the tale of an Indian family who leave Mumbai to make a new life for themselves in France near a Village, one day they come across an abandoned area that they believe is perfect to build an Indian restaurant, the only problem is the French restaurant across the road led by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren.)
I don't have an awful lot to say about this movie but I will say that it is nicely charming in its own way and not too dark in its tone to put off some viewers, Mirren is her usual likeable self despite the bitchy French accent and Om Puri is very good here as the Indian Papa and the bickering between the two provides a lot of the film's best laughs.
I also enjoyed the performance by Charlotte Le Bon as another French Chef though one word of warning is that do not see this movie on an empty stomach as during it you will be hungry and will also want a big lunch afterwards.
So that is all on the Hundred Foot Journey, it does what it says on the box, Mirren and Puri are fun and it's a light hearted feel good film that will also make you want to eat afterwards, 3 out of 5.
