The Linguini Incident is something of an East Coast version of another 1991 movie, Steve Martin’s L.A. Story, similarly a romp on the cusp of a disappearing zeitgeist, a last expression of the previous decade just after it ended. Go to Full Review

Albus G Feb 28, 2017 A unique movie. When it seems that Hollywood can't come up with an original idea, something like this comes along. It is silly and brilliant. See more
