The Wing or the Thigh?

Charles Duchemin, a well-known gourmet and publisher of a famous restaurant guide, is waging a war against fast food entrepreneur Tri- catel to save the French art of cooking. After having agreed to appear on a talk show to show his skills in naming food and wine by taste, he is confronted with two disasters: his son wants to become a clown rather than a restaurant tester and he, the famous Charles Duchemin, has lost his taste!

Reviews:

  • Athena Bradley
    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Bodhi Wilson
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.
    Rating: 2

  • Jackson Butler
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

  • Athena Newton
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
