From the 2001 German film "Bella Martha" (Mostly Martha) which has recently been Americanized into a remake starring Catherine Zeta-Jones entitled "No Reservations". I don't see why a remake was necessary, as there was nothing wrong with the original (it's one of my favorite films). I guess American audiences need something which doesn't require the mto read or associate themselves with foreign things? Martina Gedeck is way sexier than Zeta-Jones (I know, my subjective opinion), Aaron Eckhart is blah, Abagail Breslin is child star du jour so obviously she gets the role of the niece, and I can already tell from the trailer the film is going to be so annoyingly treacly I wonder if I can stomach watching it...anyway, this scene perfectly typifies the sort of pedanticism for which the Germans are known...
