‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’ Review: Amazing Food and an Overcooked Plot

Walt Disney

In the middle of a busy Indian marketplace, a young boy steals a taste of a coveted sea urchin. The way he closes his eyes and tastes the flavor shows us (and the urchin’s vendor) that he is more than just a curious boy – he understands and appreciates food.

From its opening scene, The Hundred-Foot Journey is driven by its stomach, and director Lassee Hallström brings audiences as close to the amazing food featured on screen as he can without letting you taste it yourself. Unfortunately the narrative loses momentum when it shifts its focus away from the plate (and those filling it).

Growing up working in his family’s restaurant, Hassan ( Manish Dayal ) takes advantage of the opportunity to learn how to cook beside his mother ( Juhi Chawla ). After an unfortunate incident in their hometown, Hassan and his family find themselves driven out of India to seek refuse elsewhere in Europe – eventually ending up in France. As the family drives through the French countryside, their car breaks down, but helpful stranger (and fellow aspiring chef) Marguerite ( Charlotte Le Bon ) happens upon them and takes them in.

Thanks to the family’s patriarch Papa ( Om Puri ) and his stubborn determination to re-open their restaurant (especially after he finds the perfect location), the family may not be leaving as soon as they thought. Papa refuses to heed his family’s warnings when they tell him his perfect location is exactly one hundred feet (they measured) from the town’s most successful restaurant, owned by Madame Mallory ( Helen Mirren ), but he insists on introducing their cuisine (and Hassan’s talent) to French culture.

There are two conflicts that drive The Hundred-Foot Journey  — Hassan and Marguerite’s quest to become accomplished chefs while coming to terms with their burgeoning attraction to one another, and Madame Mallory and Papa’s quest to out-do one another with the success of their respective restaurants. While it is entertaining to watch Madame Mallory and the old man try and best one another by harassing the town’s food loving mayor ( Michel Blanc ) over petty grievances with the hope of getting each other’s restaurants shut down, it is Hassan’s passion for food that is the most compelling part of the film.

Dayal delivers a solid performance, but his sudden character shifts from hesitant cook to aspiring chef to potential burnout (plus his relationship with Marguerite moving from potential love interest to competitor) are a bit too jarring to be fully believed. Hassan is a shy young talent who loves his family (who, outside of Papa, are all used as background noise throughout most of the film) so when success seems to turn him into an emotionless, possibly alcoholic shell, the shift feels incredibly sudden and false. Hallström also falters in developing the relationship between Madame Mallory and Papa, making their antagonism feel more convenient than meaningful. Mirren and Puri are consistently funny in their roles, even charming in moments, but their relationship feels near schizophrenic as they move from enjoying an evening cocktail together to a disagreement to dancing the night away – all in the span of a few minutes.

Fortunately Hallström knows when to focus on the food and wisely zooms in, letting the bright ingredients fill the frame whenever someone is cooking or tasting. Much is said about Hassan’s talent as a chef, and Hallström focuses beautifully the way Hassan uses food to create flavor combinations that make his rising (Michelin) star undeniable. As he makes an important meal for Madame Mallory, we see the crack of every egg and the addition of every spice, making you feel like you are learning the recipe as Hassan is creating it.

Hassan and his family’s journey is not an easy one, but Hallström cannot seem to stick to a steady tone and decide if The Hundred-Foot Journey is all fantasy with moments of hardship or hardship made worthwhile by moments of joy. While the film has scenes that feel too easy, these narrative shortcuts are easily forgiven when you take the film for the foodie fantasy it is – beautiful cuisine in a beautiful place (beautifully shot by Linus Sandgren ) prepared and eaten by beautiful people all set to beautiful music from composer A.R. Rahman . It may not be wholly believable, but it is fantastic escapism.

The Hundred-Foot Journey would have been better served to keep the film’s focus on Hassan and his journey from cook to chef (instead of a scurrilous battle between restaurateurs), but it is a sumptuously shot tale full of good food, scenic backdrops, wonderful music and real passion that all make it well worth the reservation.

Upside: Solid performance from newcomer Dayal; menu-worthy cinematography from Sandgren; wisely used close ups of food being prepared and tasted; a wonderful, uplifting score from Rahman.

Downside: Tonal issues and a slightly disjointed narrative structure; character shifts feel sudden and forced; disappointing, one-note performances from Mirren and Puri.

On the Side: The Hundred-Foot Journey is based on Richard C. Morais’ novel and marks Dayal’s first time playing a lead in a feature film.

The Hundred-Foot Journey review – curry-joint drama dishes up the cliches

A n Indian restaurateur and his family flee communal violence in Mumbai ("some election or other," the voice-over glibly informs us), and pitch up in southern France, where they open a gaudy curry joint opposite the local Michelin-starred swank house. Om Puri is the patriarch who finds himself at war with Helen Mirren , playing the outraged owner of the posh place, while Manish Dayal – the son with the golden fingers and tastebuds – and Charlotte Le Bon's eyes meet across the wild cèpes. You can guess the rest. Will the Indian family's zest for life melt Mirren's glacial heart? Will their spices change her view of food? Will Franglais – "I wish to make a complaint, officialement!" – be spoken? Cliche piles on cliche, but it's good-natured, undemanding fun.

Absolutely fantastic!

Excellent clean movie, what's the story.

After unrest drives them away from their native India to London, Hassan (Manish Dayal) and his family take to the road and find themselves stranded when their brakes fail in a small French town. Hassan's father decides it's just the spot to open an Indian restaurant. Directly across the street, Madame Mallory ( Helen Mirren ) runs another restaurant, one with a long, proud tradition of fine French dining -- and possessed of a famed Michelin star. She's not happy with her new neighbors and declares war on their rival eatery. Meanwhile, Hassan starts to fall for Marguerite, the sous chef in Mallory's kitchen, who teaches him the basics of French cuisine.

Is It Any Good?

Like beef bourguignon, one of the many dishes filmed so delectably in this production, THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY is a crowd-pleasing classic. The family story, told with empathy and love here, is its base; the food scenes that are odes to the art of cooking, framed through a cross-cultural prism, are its mea; and the gorgeous French countryside and melodic Indian music are its garnish. It's a delight to watch, especially because of the cast.

But, also just like beef bourguignon, it's not particularly inventive, even if the story centers around a young man's ingenuity in the kitchen. You know what you're getting. A true master chef -- as director Lasse Hallstrom has revealed himself to be in many previous turns at the helm -- would take a classic and turn it into something transcendent, adding elements that transform, rather than just substituting one ingredient (the location, perhaps) for another and hoping it feels different. Still, the film is big-hearted and filling enough -- so filling that it runs too long, actually -- to be a pleasant enough cinematic meal.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about bias. What does Madame Mallory think about Hassan and his family when she first meets them? Why? How do her opinions change?

Why are movies about food and cooking so appealing? How does this one compare to others you've seen?

The Hundred-Foot Journey Review

2014 has already been quite the cinematic year for foodies, with such scrumptious titles as Chef , The Trip To Italy , and The Green Inferno (what, I don’t judge cultures!), but after indulging in all those treats, I walked into The Hundred-Foot Journey feeling a bit stuffed. Hoping that Indian spices could kick this Oprah/Steven Spielberg production up a few notches, Lasse Hallström’s adaptation of Richard C. Morais’ uplifting novel becomes a smidgen too pedestrian when compared to Favreau and Winterbottom’s offerings – even though Hallström’s film boasts a saucy British delicacy in Dame Helen Mirren. An unexpected third act twist does inject a bit of healthy vibrancy into an otherwise overly-produced story of self-discovery, but everything comes together in a rather vanilla mixture once the credits role. Unlike the bursts of flavor highlighted throughout each succulent dish, this journey is rather filling, a bit undercooked, and lacking a signature spin worthy of an almighty Michelin Star.

Following the culinary maturation of a young Indian “cook” named Hassan (Manish Dayal), we quickly learn his only training came from helping his mother in the kitchen of their family restaurant – until its untimely destruction and his mother’s death. After attempting a British life, Hassan’s father (Om Puri) plants them in a small French town where he buys a restaurant worthy of a new start. Unfortunately for Hassan and his family, their new restaurant is directly across from a famed Michelin-rated eatery run by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), a stern businesswoman disgusted by her curry-cooking new neighbors. What starts as a business rivalry turns into a war, as Hassan vies to prove himself against the team of trained culinary artists working across the street, but the restaurant world may have bigger plans in store for the young chef-in-training.

On a more positive note, Helen Mirren is in proper form playing Madame Mallory, an uptight kitchen dictator hellbent on her own culinary conquest. Starting out as an antagonistic force, her hatred is slowly turned into admiration as the healing power of home cooking proves that age-old French recipes could use a few Indian spices, and it’s a role that fits Mirren so bloody well. Possessing such poise and sophisticated distinction, Mirren uses a bit of her RED training as a diabolical sneak, but as her character recognizes greatness in Hassan, sweet outbursts of respect bring to light a more comforting side that Mirren shows an equally able command of. Then again, discussing what a wonderful actress Helen Mirren is becomes a bit like discussing what makes pizza so freakin’ amazing – it’s just a common fact.

Manish Dayal tests his culinary chops as Hassan, and he confidently looks the part. Commanding his kitchen while following lavish French and Indian recipes, he furiously slices his way through the competition while also attempting to find professional success, love, and pride. While Dayal isn’t to blame, his character falls into a repetitive category of “uplifting” stereotypes who live picturesque, Hollywood-warped realities. I’m all for enlightenment and happy endings, but movies of this nature become predictable and bland after a while, ESPECIALLY when running for about two hours, and The Hundred-Foot Journey is no different. Dashings of molecular cooking and vibrant Indian herbs may kick up the heat of this pick-me-up fodder, but there’s one ingredient that appears to be missing – the wildly sporadic spice of life.

While Steven Knight ( Locke/Eastern Promises ) has been on quite the hot streak lately, there’s a tragic imbalance between dramatic storytelling and its rich connection to the food being presented. As stated, Hassan never really feels challenged by opposition, but I also felt a lack of appreciation for the beauty in cooking. Sure, there’s a lot of technical showmanship behind the scenes, as a flurry of diced vegetables and whisked sauces fill montages with delectable sights, but the food never takes on a personality of its own. I remember leaving The Trip To Italy with my stomach grumbling, crying out for succulent seafood atop linguini drenched in a white wine sauce, but The Hundred-Foot Journey fails to create a hankering for Samosas or something drenched in Béchamel. The third act does introduce a more scientific approach to cooking, one that’s both dazzling and astoundingly refined, but it becomes too little and too late of a dive into culinary artistry – and something I won’t spoil for you.

Capturing Hassan’s “lengthy” journey are Hallström and cinematographer Linus Sandgren, who construct two warring restaurants as if they’re battleships aimed at one another, ready to strike one critical blow. Visually, each restaurant reflects its own unique culture, as Maison Mumbai dances about with bright colors and accentuating details, while Madame Mallory’s hoity-toity establishment wreaks of pretentious egos and drab, tastefully “classy” decor. The scenery is lush and the camerawork is handy, managing to display some eye-candy in the way of foodie fantasies, which ends up helping The Hundred-Foot Journey  create a somewhat pleasing scroll of photography for viewers to sample. Who doesn’t love expertly shot scenes around a quaint little French town?

Alas, despite Hallström’s best efforts, The Hundred-Foot Journey becomes a bit inconsequential, doing nothing to advance an exploitable genre or liberate our senses from caged realities and mundane boredom. Hassan’s escape doesn’t pack the same punch as Favreau’s return to indie greatness, or Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s appreciative travels, as characters act more like melodramatic puppets without any realistic connection. It’s a popcorn-popper of the stalest variety, nothing you’d expect from a master chef or even his sous apprentice. I know, it pains me to not recommend a Helen Mirren movie where she yet again dazzles, but despite her best efforts – and those of the old-school Om Puri – The Hundred-Foot Journey fails to enrich our lives on the level Oprah hoped.

Film Review: ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’

Lasse Hallstrom returns to 'Chocolat' territory with this overlong serving of cinematic comfort food.

By Justin Chang

Justin Chang

• Film Review: ‘A Hologram for the King’ 8 years ago
• Cannes: A Look at the Official Selection, by the Numbers 8 years ago
• Film Review: ‘Captain America: Civil War’ 8 years ago

Beef bourguignon or tandoori goat? Career success or family loyalty? You can actually have it all, according to “ The Hundred-Foot Journey ,” a culture-clash dramedy that presents itself as the most soothing brand of cinematic comfort food. As such, this genteel, overlong adaptation of Richard C. Morais’ 2010 novel about two rival restaurants operating in a sleepy French village is not without its pleasures — a high-energy score by A.R. Rahman, exquisite gastro-porn shot by Linus Sandgren, the winningly barbed chemistry of Helen Mirren and Om Puri — all prepared to exacting middlebrow specifications and ensured to go down as tastily and tastefully as possible. With the formidable backing of Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey (who produced with Juliet Blake), the DreamWorks concoction should cater to a broad array of arthouse appetites, particularly among those viewers who embraced the similar East-meets-West fusion cuisine of “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.”

If this Old World foodie fairy tale feels like an odd fit for screenwriter Steven Knight — best known for his gritty London underworld thrillers, and coming off an unusually adventurous directing debut with “Locke” — it’s worth recalling that his scripts for the much edgier “Eastern Promises” and “Dirty Pretty Things” were directly concerned with the hostilities bred in and around specific immigrant communities. Still, with its cozy, crowd-pleasing temperament, the new film represents all-too-familiar territory for director Lasse Hallstrom, whose superficially similar “Chocolat” offered up a smug little parable about the triumph of sensual indulgence and liberal tolerance over stifling small-town conformity. The culture war examined in “The Hundred-Foot Journey” is a bit less one-sided: It contrasts the heat and intensity of Indian cooking with the elegance and refinement of French haute cuisine, then balances the two with a feel-good lesson in ethnic harmony.

Popular on Variety

Fleeing a tragic uprising in their native Mumbai for a more idyllic life in Europe, the Kadam family, led by their proudly outspoken Papa (Puri), decide to open an Indian restaurant in the South of France. Alas, they soon find that they have merely abandoned one war zone for another, as their scrappy new Maison Mumbai, with its open-air seating and free-wandering chickens, is soon locked in a fierce competition with the classy Michelin-starred establishment located just 100 feet across the road. That restaurant, Le Saule Pleureur, is run by the widowed Madame Mallory (Mirren), an unyielding perfectionist and proud defender of Gallic tradition whose first glimpse of her brown-skinned neighbors prompts her to sniff, “Who are zees people?”

Zees people, little does she realize, include one of the most talented young cooks in Europe. That would be our protagonist, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal), who soon begins a sly flirtation with Le Saule Pleureur’s beautiful sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon); she in turn introduces him to the venerable tradition of French cooking, which he becomes determined to master. The tension between these two characters, sexual as well as professional, is something the film keeps on a low simmer behind the more fiery confrontations between Papa and Madame Mallory, neither of whom is afraid to resort to all manner of competitive sabotage — whether it means sneakily buying up all the crayfish at the farmers market, or filing complaints with the mayor (Michel Blanc), humorously depicted as something of a gourmand himself.

Amid all this fun but childish oneupsmanship, Knight and Hallstrom gently milk all the expected stereotypes for humor and conflict: The French are snobs with their hoity-toity manners and expensive food, and they’re deeply affronted by the thrifty, tacky Indians with their colorful clothes and loud music. France’s ugly history of racial aggression and unrest, particularly relevant at the present moment, briefly punctures the film’s placid surface when local thugs attack and nearly burn down Maison Mumbai. But rather than lighting a fuse, this trauma is what begins to unite the Kadams and Madame Mallory, who soon realizes that Hassan is not only an exceptional cook, especially when armed with his family’s prized spice box, but possibly the missing ingredient that could earn Le Saule Pleureur its second Michelin star.

And so “The Hundred-Foot Journey” becomes a story in which cultural opposites not only learn to coexist, but are in fact triumphantly and even romantically reconciled. It may be set in France, but really, it could be taking place in any movie-manufactured fantasyland where enemies become the best of friends, and an embittered old shrew turns out to have a heart of gold (and, as Papa appreciatively notes, looks rather fetching beneath the glow of computer-generated Bastille Day fireworks). Morais’ novel was described by the New York Times’ Ligaya Mishan as a hybrid of “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Ratatouille,” and Hallstrom seems to have taken that Hollywood formulation to heart: Like “Slumdog,” the film is an underdog story set to the infectious backbeat of Rahman’s music (fun fact: Knight created the original British version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”), and like “Ratatouille,” it brings us into an irresistible world of culinary sophistication and features gorgeous nighttime views of Paris, where Hassan eventually arrives in search of his destiny.

Where the film really overreaches is its attempt to reproduce “Ratatouille’s” glorious Proustian moment, that perfect bite of food that induces a heartbreaking recollection of childhood. This wannabe epiphany arrives deep into a draggy third act, during which the script and the handsome Dayal struggle to give Hassan some semblance of a conflicted inner life, but the character, much like his meteoric rise to the top ranks of international chefdom, remains something of a sketch. It’s the older, top-billed leads who manage the heavy lifting: Though she’s encumbered somewhat by her French accent, Mirren is superb at both projecting an air of hauteur and expressing the vulnerability beneath it, and she brings out a similar mix of pride and feeling in Puri’s Papa, an excellent sparring partner whose stubbornness and drive to succeed never come at the expense of his love for his family.

Shot on 35mm in luminous, sun-dappled tones in the French village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val (with some second-unit work in India), and handsomely appointed by production designer David Gropman and costume designer Pierre-Yves Gayraud, the film is also distinguished by its mouth-watering visual buffet, whether lingering on vats of steaming red curry or a perfectly plated pigeon with truffles. This is, no question, an easy picture to succumb to — perhaps too easy, if its tidy narrative symmetries and its belief in the socially redemptive power of pleasure are any indication. Scrumptious as it all is, it hurts to watch chefs so committed to excellence in a movie so content to settle for attractive mediocrity.

Helen Mirren  plays a prickly French chef known for dishing out bonbons and bon mots in the trailer for the upcoming drama The Hundred-Foot Journey .

In the film — produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey — Mirren is Madame Mallory, a chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant in the south of France. She holds her kitchen to impossibly high standards and lambastes her staff for the slightest misstep. 

PHOTOS: The Resurgence of Oprah Winfrey

“Last night, we served this,” Mallory says, holding up a limp piece of asparagus. “In this restaurant, the cuisine is not an old, tired marriage — it is a passionate affair.”

Tensions simmer and boil over when an Indian family opens a restaurant across the street. “If your music is anything like your food, I suggest you tone it down,” Mallory admonishes the Indian restaurant’s chef ( 90210 ‘s  Manish Dayal ).  

Oscar-nominated  Lasse Hallstrom  — who helmed the food-centric  Chocolat  and last year’s  Safe Haven  — directed the film from a script by  Locke  writer-director  Steven Knight . The film is based on the 2010 novel of the same name by  Richard C. Morais . 

STORY: Helen Mirren to Star in DreamWorks Drama ‘The Hundred-Foot Journey’

Winfrey has been a longtime champion of the novel, putting it on her  O magazine’s 2010 summer reading list. Spielberg directed Winfrey in 1985’s The Color Purple. 

Disney releases The Hundred-Foot Journey on Aug. 8 and is presumably hoping it enjoys success similar to that of Fox Searchlight’s 2012 sleeper hit  The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel .

Imagine Ratatouille, but Remy is a person and Hellen Mirren learns that anyone can cook

Review by Ruslan Mavrodinov ★★★★½ 1

Widely criticized for its lack of originality, The Hundred-Foot Journey is not only a predictable by-the-numbers schmaltz, but also an unapologetic crowd-pleaser, a multisensory delight, food porn with a big heart and comfort food at its finest all rolled into a succulent, brilliantly crafted and instantly enjoyable classic tale of self-discovery, tolerance and loyalty, sprinkled with an eclectic blend of irresistible charm, mouth-watering escapism, sumptuous cultural authenticity and disarming humanism.

Review by Mr. DuLac ★★★

Is he as good as I think he is? -Papa

Another warm and fuzzy film about food in the same year. It's like those two asteroid films all over again. I'm pretty sure that Morgan Freeman is even the President in on of these films, just not sure which one... because he's not actually in either.

An incredibly charming cast get together here with several standouts not the least of which is of course Helen Mirren . Om Puri easily holds his own with her and is one of the highlights of the film. Manish Dayal was able to convince me that reading a new cookbook could be a spiritual experience while Charlotte Lebon could easily charm corpse back to life.…

Review by UltimateMovieRankings ★★★½

I was vaguely aware of this movie when it popped up in my RedBox this morning. This movie which deals with dueling restaurant owners in France starts off slow.....then gets interesting in the middle....but then suffers at the end from "Lord of the Ring: Return of the King refuse to end a movie syndrome". Overall I liked the movie,especially the performances from Helen Mirren and Om Puri (looking a lot like Seymour Cassel). This was produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey. Ranked 35th of 120 movies on my 2014 Cogerson page. cogersonmoviescore.com/best-to-worst-2014-movies.html

Action: The Caps Of Mr. Spielberg - The Epilogues RECOMMENDED BY NothingRevealed

A film produced by Spielberg, yet not directed by him, and still you can trace some of his whimsy vibe throughout the entire picture - and not in a good way.

As a movie about food, its often endearing, playing almost like a less cynical version of Burnt but missing some of the appeal of that movie. It never gets to the level of enjoyment of Chef where you can trace and feel the level of excitement and dedication that Favreau put into that feature. In a nutshell, its a story that attempts to tackle the world of high class food through the glance of an Indian immigrant…

Review by ashley 🥀 ★★★ 1

Finally watched this after my old friend recommended it to me years ago because “Marguerite reminded [her] of [me]” which, although flattering bc she’s so cute and sweet, confused me at first bc I don’t really cook. But then I remembered the numerous happy nights helping her in the kitchen and got super nostalgic, so Lauren, if you’re reading this hmu I miss you.

Review by ScreeningNotes ★★

"If your food is anything like your music, then I suggest you tone it down."

The Hundred-Foot Journey is a simple and easy food-porn melodrama. Hassan (Manish Dayal), a young chef, moves with his family from India to France and finds himself torn between his native culinary tradition and the cuisine of his new home. From there, the movie sets up a variety of artificial conflicts which are so transparent that they never develop any sense of dramatic tension. For instance, Hassan meets a pretty French girl who likes or dislikes him depending on the demands of the script (e.g. he leaves after having a disagreement, but when he returns she wants him again for no reason).

The film is…

Review by Graham ★★★½

"You seduced his mind,with your awful, tasteless, empty sauces! With your pitiful little squashed bits of garlic!" - Papa

Ahh, a lovely 3 course meal of a movie. Crack 2 eggs and mix together with a little 'Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', un petit peut de 'Chocolat' (the Juliette Binoche one) and a good dollop of 'Before Sunset'. Add spice to taste and voila! A perfect Indo-Franco fusion.

There is nothing not to like here... it's nothing spectacular or particularly arty, but it's just lovely, cardamom-infused fun.

Om Puri plays Papa, the lovable Dad of the family. I remember him from the wonderful 'East is East', and he's brilliant in this too. Om left us in 2017, leaving a legacy of…
