My optometrist highly recommended this movie and so I borrowed it from my local library. The best thing I can say about this film is that Juliette Binoche is gorgeous! And, of course, Judi Dench did an excellent job as the curmudgeonly grandmother. But mixing diabetes with a high calorie title immediately foreshadowed her death. The most disappointing thing about this movie is Johnny Depp. How such a gifted thespian could be so underused is beyond me. Too long, too dull, and not nearly French enough.
