Title: blatant copy
Product review: i first saw eat drink man woman several years ago, and it remains to this day one of my favorite movies, and my favorite movie directed by ang lee. when i first heard about tortilla soup, i thought it sounded kind of like eat drink man woman, but little did i know how blatantly it was copied. i don't know whether the movie was meant as a hispanic remake, or whether the makers of the movie thought viewers wouldn't make the connection, but the film was predictable based on eat drink man woman, down to even the the eldest daughter's husband riding a motorcycle.as another reviewer commented, this film also lacks the subtlety and quality of acting as eat drink man woman. the delicate relationship the daughters have with each other as well as with their father is the focus of both movies, but is portrayed rather tritely in tortilla soup. all in all, this movie could have been decent, but after seeing the original, it just does not compare.
