Tagline: She Always Thought She Was Somebody... And She Was
Plot: Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) lives a small life tucked inside big dreams. A shy cookware salesperson for a New Orleans retail outlet, she handles knives and skillets with the flair of a master chef.

...is a slight film, sometimes droll, sometimes whimsical, and usually sharp. Yet this sweet little film can barely bring itself to utter a profanity (one, spoken twice), or dwell on what it is exactly that Ms Burns has been doing to cause such a pain inher neck. Get past the Food Network tie-in, it’s mostly painless, pack a lunch, the loving, lingering shots of haute cuisine will pique quite an appetite, and surrender to the charm.  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)

Disappointing, badly written drama that just about stays watchable thanks to a likeable performance from Queen Latifah.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
