I think Aaron Eckhart is a very underrated actor. He is great in everything he's in, as well as Abigail Breslin. Catherine Zeta-Jones is good, too. Kate (Zeta-Jones) is a chef in a New York restaurant, well known for being difficult to work with. When she gets a call from the hospital, saying that her sister and her niece were in a car accident, she is given custody of Zoe (Breslin). At first, they don't get along, Kate doesn't know what to do with a kid. When she's forced to take a few days off after a breakdown in the restaurant, a new chef is hired to help her. Nick (Eckhart) is the opposite of Kate in every way. When Kate starts bringing Zoe to the restaurant at night so she can watch her, the three bond over the restaurant. All three stars give very heartfelt performances, which is what makes this an enjoyable movie.
