    The movie and the book Like Water for Chocolate are both well written. I enjoyed the book because it had a different layout than the other books we have read thus far. The film was an asset to see because it followed the book so well that it gave you more ideas about things that you might not have totally understood while reading it. This is the first Spanish movie that has had such a positive effect on the book which makes the movie that much more amazing.…

    All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.…
