"Mr. Church" tells the story of a unique friendship that develops when a little girl and her dying mother retain the services of a talented cook - Henry Joseph Church. What begins as a six month arrangement instead spans into fifteen years and creates a family bond that lasts forever.
Eddie Murphy is excellent as Mr Church he is Mr. Church! A heartwarming film that captured my attention from the opening scene to the last Closing scene. . Many a tear will be shed while watching this film, and yet it warms your heart throughout. If you have a love of food and any understanding of what it means to a person who cares about ingredients, how they put them together to create a meal for a family and then watch them enjoy that meal this movie will have your mouth watering. I was starving after the film. The musical score, Jazz in the background added a big plus to the film overall. The casting was superb, the film beautifully shot. A rare movie to enjoy in today's world.
