In the case of Simply Irresistible , I'd also advise lighting a couple of dozen candles and the contemplation of animal sacrifice to the ancient Gods. Bartlett is constructing a chi chi restaurant in the very expensive New York haberdashery Henri Bendel, has a controlling girlfriend of his own and no time for a woman of lesser status. Cupid's will, of course, ensure that our young lovers to be cross paths in as many ways as possible. One crab escaped its inevitable boiling doom and hides in the kitchen, anthropomorphically working magical spells on all. Overnight, Amanda becomes a four star chef and her magical concoctions, all lovingly photographed, weave spells across everyone in her tiny world.
Business improves and the restaurant is saved.
Tom's girl takes a hike, as does the chef of the new restaurant, and Amanda steps in to fill both roles. Simply Irresistible is formula to a tee. With no chemistry between stars Gellar and Flanery it comes off as a series of two character stage sketches with music vids as interlude. On average, a first run movie ticket will run you Eight Bucks. Used by permission.
