For anyone interested in food or the Japaneses culture this is great.
Will whet the appetite for a great bowl of ramein and keep you laughing through every scene.
August 3, 2008This is a delightful punning play on the theme of a spaghetti western. The main story revolves around the tale of a threatened noodle shop and its widowed owner. A very broadly drawn cowboy rides into town in this pickup truck (complete with horns on the hood) and saves the day. Side plots include a society of homeless gastronomes, an example of mother-love gone way too far and the best use of a shrimp by a gangster in any movie ever.
The serious underside is that this is a mouth-watering depiction of the love of food and it would be a rare gourmet who didn't have to stop the dvd at least once to grab a snack.

June 24, 2008One of my favorite movies. It alway makes me want to eat noodles. This is a good DVD transfer for the price. The last one I saw was $125.00. This copy also arrived pretty quick.
April 29, 2008My husband and I have seen this movie several times on the IFC channel and enjoy it immensely. I was thrilled to find the DVD. There are several version listed and this is the only one I've seen. It is a story of a women whose goal is to learn how to make to best bowl of soup ever. There is some subtle humor in this and you find yourself really rooting for the main character. It is definitely a different type of movie, but I have encountered many people over the years that rave about this movie. I wouldn't consider a cult classic, though some people do. There is overtones of discrimination as she is a woman and is trying to do a man's job. I love the trials and tribulations she goes through to perfect her craft. This is an entertaining movie and makes me laugh ever time.
