Reviews for this film from our members:

  • [New - 9/13] | Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
    • Excerpt: Ultimately, while “Step Up to the Plate” may be pleasing to the palate, it’s never fully satisfying. It’s an impressionistic piece where classicism may have yielded more.
  • Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
    • Excerpt: The audience comes away from the movie none the wiser about the gastronomical gifts of the Bras family, who seem almost “Stepford” in their insular world of private luxury.
