“The Hundred-Foot Journey” is a comedy-drama film about competition between two restaurants across the street from each other in a small town in France. Veteran actors Helen Mirren and Om Puri are at the zenith of their careers as competing restaurant owners. Producers Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey put together this highly polished movie under the guidance of director Lasse Hallstrom (“What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” 1993) and screenwriter Steven Knight, adapted from the 2008 novel by Richard C. Morais.
The supporting cast behind Mirren and Puri include Charlotte LeBen and Manish Dayal as heads of the competing restaurant staff, stirring up meals that make the mouth water. One is an established French restaurant (headed by Mirren) and one is a new Indian restaurant owned by an immigrant Indian family (headed by veteran Indian actor Puri).
Viewing the film on an empty stomach is not recommended, but it is advisable to view the watchable film “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” a success at the box office for DreamWorks Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Harpo Films, and Walt Disney Pictures.
