This comedy revolves around two brothers, both wonderful chefs, who fall out catastrophically. At the climax of their dispute, they rip the family recipe book in half: one brother gets the starters and the other gets the main courses. They set up rival restaurants across the road from each other, and spend the next 20 years trying to outdo each other. Neither brother will admit it, but both know they are not entirely successful in the 'other half' of the menu. It takes a daughter--a successful corporate lawyer marrying a man from a very different background--to reunite them. She is planning her wedding and is determined that they will both cook the wedding banquet.
Leave your thoughts about Jadoo.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineColourful and engaging, this subculture comedy keeps us smiling with a mouth-watering mix of delicious food and lively characters. |
| Total FilmStephen KellyLet down by some erratic, repetitive plotting. |
| The ListPaul GallagherJadoo lacks the great writing of classic food movies like Big Night or Babette's Feast, but it is a warm and likeable addition to the genre. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungYou can see where it's all heading right from the off, but even in the predictable resolve you'll be hard-pressed to keep your eyes bone dry. |
| Daily Express (UK)Henry FitzherbertBuoyant and beautifully shot the picture is a celebration of food and family life that adroitly sidesteps many cultural cliches. |
| Radio TimesDavid AldridgeIf the story doesn't linger long in the memory, director Amit Gupta's loving depiction of food is something to savour. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)David GrittenThe story may not engage the mind, but your saliva glands will be working overtime. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonNo shortage of appetising ingredients here, yet the execution sadly fails to make the most of them. |
| User ReviewIsabelle GA gem of a film, funny, tender, crossing borders: a story of food, feud, family and live everyone can relate to. The cast is superb! More indie films pleaassse! |
| User ReviewGraham WNever would've watched this if it hadn't been set in Leicester. The story was slight, and it felt like it ended about 15 minutes too early. But, on the whole OK-ish. |
