Tilo (A. Rai) opens a spice bazaar near San Francisco. She must follow 3 rules as a 'mistress of the spices': never use the spices for her own; never leave the spices; never touch another skin. She has a wide variety of clients who seek her help for various reasons, the most obvious being love, and she attends to them, as best she can. Unfortunately for her, one day she meets Doug (McDermott) and eventually falls in love, although she fights it. Will she leave her spices or will she find love with Doug?
This is definitely a girl movie, although guys might enjoy watching Aishwarya Rai: she is quite beautiful. She certainly can act too.
Dylan McDermott is really good-looking here, and gives a good performance.
The story is very predictable, hence my 6/10 rating. Else, everything was fine. A good script, nice photography, good direction.
I enjoyed the 'tips' on the various spices: cardamom, chili peppers, etc. A lot of fun.
If you like (predictable) romantic movies, this is for you.
6/10
