Simply Irresistible
This version contains both widescreen and pan & scan and replaces the other widescreen only version!!!
Sometimes, the most powerful magic of all is the kind that comes straight from the heart. Sarah Michelle Gellar (TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer) "brings her bewitching charms to a tale of love" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) in this seductive story of "Hex" appeal.
Beautiful restaurant owner Amanda Shelton is falling head over heels for handsome, hard-driving executive Tom Bartlett. Unfortunately, Tom is too busy to recognize that she's truly the girl of his dreams...until Amanda puts him under her tantalizing spell!

It's interesting to see Sarah Michelle Gellar play a character in a low-key fashion. I recently rented the campy (and hilarious) Cruel Intentions to see her give a performance so unbelievably over-the-top I couldn't stop laughing. Also, the less said about her role in I KNow What You Did Last Summer the better. Though impeccably shot sequences in and around New York give the film a glowing lusture, the script and the characters don't live up to the glow and seem to blend in with the scenery. It's supernatural themes seem to get left behind when there's a moment of pesky plot to spoil the visual pleasure, and I'm not convinced that anyone on screen wanted to be there at all. Also, why does a young woman on the verge of bankruptcy dress so well and have such impeccably styled hair? And why would she wear designer outfits whilst making sauces? It's odd. It seemed to be a Vogue photo essay in search of a Meg Ryan-esque romance.Light and funny movie - tlefrancois
This is a light, cutesy chick-flick sort of movie. There's lots of humor and silliness. This movie fortunately never tries to take itself too seriously, because it would fail. The watcher who tries to take this movie too seriously won't enjoy it. Go into it with the idea that it's a silly movie meant to be laughed at and enjoyed, and you won't go wrong. Sarah Michelle Gellar is really good for the role of Amanda Shelton - she's very expressive and she does the dry humor really well, but she also gets the emotional roller-coaster that the characters are on and she does it smashingly well. Sean Patrick Flanery is excellent as the guy who really can't figure out what the heck is going on but he can't pull himself away from it anyway; and Larry Gilliard, Jr. as the support man to Gellar's Shelton is simply funny. This movie is definitely worth watching at least once.Flakey but cute - jivejunkie
Definitely a pretty light story, but if you are in the mood for some romantic fluff comedy, it fits the bill. I enjoyed the concept of the food reflecting the emotional state of the chef and how it affected the restaurant patrons. If you are in the mood for a good fantasy, this one is worth checking out.
