This movie is a classic fish out of water tale, but it centers perfectly on the love and bond of a family. It also displays the power of food to bring people together, as well as its astonishing ability to cross barriers, culture and language. We often assume a lot about a person or group of people without ever taking the time to make a journey across the room, the bar or to the restaurant across the street. I find when we cross those imaginary lines, we learn we were wrong, but our understanding of the people around us deepens. This movie does all those things and even more.
