	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Lasse Hallstrom returns to 'Chocolat' territory with this overlong serving of cinematic comfort food (...) a feel-good lesson in ethnic harmony"	NEU
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Fans of the source best-seller and seekers of non-challenging counterprogramming to summer’s genre fare will savor the offering. But colorful locales and exotic spices can’t hide its essential blandness"	NEG
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'The Hundred-Foot Journey' is likely neither to pique your appetite nor to sate it, leaving you in a dyspeptic limbo"	NEG
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"A mouth-watering and charming - if overlong - romantic comedy-drama (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Mark Jenkins The Washington Post	"Basically a promo reel for small-town France and Gallo-Indian food fusion. Anyone who requires a more substantial meal should eat before heading to the theater (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"A pleasant if rather syrupy tale of clashing cultures (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
