Title: Very entertaining, touching, with a big surprise at the end!
Product review: Don't watch this film, Tortilla Soup, on an empty stomach!Martin (Hector Elizondo) is a master chef with three daughters still living at home. Between scenes of him preparing fabulous dinner meals, then sitting down with his daughters to enjoy the feast, the daughters find jobs, develop relationships, and make investments. And oftentimes the news comes out during these dinners, interfering with Martin's sense of gustatory balance.The widowed Martin is aggressively pursued by the mother of a friend. This mother, played by none other than Raquel Welch, receives the biggest surprise of all as the story concludes.The casting was terrific, but Elizondo as the patriarch was particularly important. He was the glue that held the family together.Enjoyable story, and recommended. A "feel-good" movie for sure.
