When people talk about the Jet Li movie of the same name (which I have never seen), I always think they are talking about this movie. Nobody has ever heard of this movie - it has 237 IMDB votes compared to 24,000 for the Jet Li movie. Coincidentally, their IMDB scores are both about 5.5.
I remember bits and piece of the movie - Ruccolo is a chef who is catering Monroe's wedding - she is getting married to a hockey player. The important piece from the movie that I remember that I hate is that Monroe's character said that she likes pasta (or maybe risotto) because every bite is the same. And this apparently is quite charming to the chef, Ruccolo. In fact, he winds up repeating this back to her.
This is such utter nonsense and it so completely stupid. It is hard to overstate how much I hate this idea. It basically says that everything should be put into blenders and turned into shakes and slurries, to make every bite the exact same.
The point is that this single line is essentially the entire movie. Nobody could possible believe this, so my theory is that I think it is a very subversive plot point - to make viewers who have brains realize that Ruccolo's character simply has a severe crush - he sees this very obvious flaw (which is probably an eating disorder?) as a reason to like her.
Or maybe the idea is that she's a witch, and she's conning him out of his money - he's going to sink it into a stupid idea for a restaurant that only serves crap where "every bite is the same", like cheeseburger smoothies and gruel.
