..... .... "better" isn't the right word. It is funny in a different more mellow way. Its more "slice o life" than "action", I guess.
Plus there's no real villian... just people with various motivations. Yeah, the head chef is an ass and slimy but is Lawful Evil. The food critic is just scary and his reputation is on the line so he's fierce.
It is the *situation* that provides a lot of the dramatic tension.
Whatever, I quite enjoyed it (though I figure 60% of the humor was lost on the small chitlings roaming the aisles during matinee.
Either wait and rent it... or go at night to reduce the theater chatter.
