Almost nothing in the film is clear, and it revels in this ambiguity to good effect. The viewer is left with space to play with the plot even after multiple viewings. I’ve seen it three times and still can’t figure out who the protagonist is, what the game being depicted is, or what kind of “real” world the film is set in. And all that, maybe, is the point.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/article-play-games-and-disappearing-reality/#more-338" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/article/" rel="category tag">Article</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/short-film/" rel="category tag">Short Film</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/play/" rel="tag">Play</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-334" class="post-334 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/the-la-times-reviews-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> The LA Times reviews “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“Capsule Movie Reviews: Today’s Special”<br /> By KEVIN THOMAS, The LA Times<br /> Published: Nov. 19, 2010</p> </div> <p>Directed with verve by David Kaplan from Aasif Mandvi and Jonathan Bines’ exceptional screenplay, “Today’s Special” stars Mandvi as a sous-chef at a Manhattan restaurant whose plans to head to Paris for further culinary study are derailed after his father suffers a heart attack and he must take over the family restaurant in Queens.</p> <p>Imaginative, warm and witty, the film, inspired by Mandvi’s prize-winning play “Sakina’s Restaurant,” is an irresistible delight, its theatrical roots vanishing amid a gracefully cinematic evocation of life in Jackson Heights, a venerable Queens neighborhood with an inviting human scale and grand rooftop vistas of the New York skyline. It is alive with a screen full of captivating characters, all written with affection and exquisitely played by a raft of fine actors.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/the-la-times-reviews-todays-special/#more-334" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-332" class="post-332 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/new-york-post-reviews-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> New York Post reviews “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“Today’s Special”<br /> By LOU LUMENICK, The New York Post<br /> Published: Nov. 19, 2010</p> </div> <p>Rating: ★★★☆</p> <p>Charming and mouthwatering, “Today’s Special” is a comedy about a Manhattan sous chef (Aasif Mandvi, who also co-wrote the script based on his off-Broadway play) forced to take over his family’s faltering restaurant in Jackson Heights.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/new-york-post-reviews-todays-special/#more-332" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-330" class="post-330 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/hollywood-reporter-review-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> Hollywood Reporter review: “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“Today’s Special – Film Review”<br /> By KIRK HONEYCUTT, The Hollywood Reporter<br /> Published: Nov. 17, 2010</p> </div> <p>A winning comedy set in a New York Indian restaurant sends out engaging characters and great looking food from its kitchen.</p> <p>A dozen years ago, Aasif Mandvi, the Indian-born actor who is now a correspondent on “The Daily Show With John Stewart,” wrote and performed a superb one-man show called “Sakina’s Restaurant.” He played a young Gujerati sponsored by a New York Indian family to come to American and work in their restaurant. Switching accents and costumes with abandon, Aasif played every character — the father, daughters, son and, of course, the fresh-of-the-boat youth encountering the American Dream.</p> <p>Using this stage show as its inspiration, Mandvi and a group of filmmakers have cooked up a thematically similar movie, <em>Today’s Special</em>, a feel-good fable about a talented cook and second-generation Indian, who discovers his destiny and own version of the American Dream when he takes over his father’s run-down Tandoori Palace restaurant. While it tracks familiar themes of generational clashes in immigrant families, upward mobility and Old World vs. New World values, <em>Today’s Special</em> does so with vigor and a pleasing sense of comedy. Not hurting matters for foreign and Indian film devotees, the film features two icons of Indian cinema, Madhur Jaffrey and Naseeruddin Shah.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/hollywood-reporter-review-todays-special/#more-330" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-327" class="post-327 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/the-boston-globe-reviews-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> The Boston Globe reviews “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“Movie Review: Today’s Special”<br /> By WESLEY MORRIS, The Boston Globe<br /> Published: Nov. 19, 2010</p> </div> <p>Samir (Aasif Mandvi) is a sous-chef at a good Manhattan restaurant. When he’s passed over for a shot at running a new restaurant, the executive chef who overlooked him explains that Samir doesn’t cook with the soul required for the job. Dejected, he quits and plans to cook in Paris. Then life intervenes. His father (Harish Patel) has a heart attack and puts Samir in charge of his restaurant, a little place in Jackson Heights, Queens, crammed between a beauty supply store and a kebab house.</p> <p>The dining room is shabby. The kitchen is a sty. The few customers find the greasy food disgusting. Eventually, Samir reluctantly hires Akbar (Naseeruddin Shah), a free-spirit cabdriver who claims he once cooked for Indira Gandhi. Akbar is a godsend for Samir: His food amazes, his unruly technique educates. Shah is a bonus for the movie. This smooth, self-confident, inarguably sexy veteran actor doesn’t steal the film so much as wrap it around his finger.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/the-boston-globe-reviews-todays-special/#more-327" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-324" class="post-324 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/time-out-reviews-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> Time Out reviews “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“Today’s Special”<br /> By ANDREA GRONVALL, Time Out<br /> Published: Nov. 19, 2010</p> </div> <p>Mumbai-born, British-raised Mandvi won an Obie for his 1998 one-man show <em>Sakina’s Restaurant</em> and has graced numerous movies (<em>The Mystic Masseur, Spider-Man 2, It’s Kind of a Funny Story</em>), but he’s best-known here as a correspondent for <em>The Daily Show.</em> Refreshingly, Mandvi and ex–Daily Show scribe Jonathan Bines relegate snark to the back burner in their screenplay for <em>Today’s Special</em>, an intimately scaled domestic comedy that, like a well-spiced meal, gradually radiates warmth without overwhelming its main ingredients.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/time-out-reviews-todays-special/#more-324" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-321" class="post-321 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-feature-film category-review tag-todays-special text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/huffington-post-reviews-todays-special/" rel="bookmark"> Huffington Post reviews “Today’s Special” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“HuffPost Review: Today’s Special”<br /> By MARSHALL FINE, The Huffington Post<br /> Published: Nov. 17, 2010</p> </div> <p>There’s not a lot new about David Kaplan’s <em>Today’s Special</em> — yet this comedy, from a script by Aasif Mandvi and Jonathan Bines, finds ways to take an old formula and give it new life.

That’s well over 100 movies. Only three of them was I ever compelled to keep a copy of for myself, and at that top of that list was David Kaplan’s <em>Year of the Fish</em> (2007)—a film that won Best Feature and the Audience Award. I remember co-judge (along with Don Mancini) Robby Benson remarking, “I wish I’d made it,” and I know what he meant. It truly was—and is—a magical film. Well, Kaplan’s next film, <em>Today’s Special,</em> comes to town on Friday. It may not be as magical, but it’s a worthy and utterly charming follow-up.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/movie-review-todays-special/#more-319" class="more-link">Continue reading…</a></p> <div class="clear"> </div> </section> <footer class="clear"> <div class="cat-links"> Categories: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/feature-film/" rel="category tag">Feature Film</a>, <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/category/review/" rel="category tag">Review</a> </div> <div class="tag-links"> Tagged: <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/tag/todays-special/" rel="tag">Today's Special</a> </div> </footer></article><article id="post-316" class="post-316 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-review category-short-film tag-little-red-riding-hood text"> <header> <h2 class="title"> <a href="http://www.kaplanworks.com/eric-kohn-reviews-little-red-riding-hood/" rel="bookmark"> Eric Kohn reviews “Little Red Riding Hood” </a> </h2> <p class="post-meta"> </p> </header> <section class="main-content"> <div class="alert"> <p>“DVD: Little Red Riding Hood and Other Stories”<br /> By ERIC KOHN, The New York Press<br /> Published: June 4, 2009</p> </div> <p>No American filmmaker has expressed the same degree of fascination with the adult themes of fairy tales as David Kaplan. But he deserves the niche. It begs noting that Kaplan staked his claim in this field long before completing his first feature, “Year of the Fish,” in 2007. That movie, a contemporary rotoscoped version of Cinderella set in New York’s Chinatown, offers only one glimpse of Kaplan’s revisionist oeuvre.
