Hundred-Foot Journey, The

When a grieving, stubborn, widowed Indian father (Om Puri) eventually moves his family to a small town in France after the death of his wife (Juhi Chawla) and their restaurant is torched in this delightfully charming, touching, well-acted, predictable, 2-hour Lasse Hallström film, which is based on Richard C. Morais's novel and filled with gorgeous, scrumptious, mouth-watering cuisine, he opens a restaurant with his talented son (Manish Dayal), who has an extraordinary palate, and his other children (Amit Shah, Farzana Dua Elahe, Dillon Mitra, et al.) directly across the street from a Michelin-starred restaurant to the dismay of its prim, snobbish, widowed owner (Helen Mirren), her employees (Charlotte Le Bon, et al.), and the food-guzzling mayor (Michel Blanc).
