Delicious Slice of One Night of NY Restaurant Life, 28 October 2005
Author:
noralee from Queens, NY
"Dinner Rush" will inevitably be compared to "Big Night," and other
food preparation/restaurant movies, but I think it holds its own as a
delicious slice of one night of New York life. As one character
plotzes: "When did eating out become theater?" The wonderful, winsome multi-ethnic ensemble of mostly New York actors
--many born in Brooklyn according to the IMDb--who have done a lot of
TV work are clearly enjoying making a movie as a coordinated team.
Danny Aiello has his best, and somewhat similar, role since "City
Hall." Many of the references may go over the heads of those West of the
Hudson or East of the East River, whether to Tribeca (as a newly trendy
neighborhood) or Danny Meyer (restaurant entrepreneur). Or even the
digs at Queens as the home of mobsters, which were greeted by silence
by the Queens audience I saw it with.The upstairs/downstairs of the kitchen scrambles vs. the dining
pleasures and everyone's personal spices are lots of fun. The actors
playing obnoxious customers, like Sandra Bernhard, do so with relish
but not overplayed.Keep your palate clear by not looking at the ad campaign or reading the
reviews, as I think they give the plot away and I was totally surprised
by the ending, er, the dessert.(originally written 9/29/2001)
