Colin Cooks up a storm

[mp01 · 7/10 · 31 August 2003]

Temptation tells the story of restaurant owner Robert Francobelli (Colin Friels) and five young aspiring chefs ,including his son ,and an indian who is seeking residency in Australia.

Francobelli has a prejudice against Indians and the use of chili peppers in his cooking so when he confronts the indian chef sparks begin to fly. The film is at a good pace with Colin Friels the star performer but the end leaves alot to be desired. It premiered on Australian television Sunday 31 August 2003

A little bit of magic

[sshan5 · 8/10 · 31 August 2003]

This movie just goes to show that good writing, good characters, tight direction and a little bit of magic and romance can produce something that far outweighs big name stars and wham bam action. Add to that a set that isn't on a backlot in Hollywood, but a real streetscape and you've got something that is a bit closer to all our lives.

Outstanding movie

What a delight! Something different and enjoyable. The characters, setting, music and direction. Really, really enjoyed this film. No violence, no extreme aggro and even no sex. Yet, I was thoroughly entertained. An older friend of mine thought there were too many characters and got confused. But I didn't find this at all. From the opening credits you could tell this was going to be a classy movie. Unfortunately, not too many people watched this show. Which is a pity. There should be more movies like this one. I would class this as one of the great telemovies on food and love. Full credit to the cast and crew for a job well done. There has to be an audience out there for this type of entertainment.
