How did this mess even get made?
7 April 2001
The plot is as follows:

SMG has a failing restaurant. This weird looking guy shows up at the start of the movie and leaves her with a crab to help her out. (He doesn't appear again.)

The crab has the power to make her food simply irresistible hence the title.

To give you an example of how bad it is, her token male confidante tells her that when guys adjust their belts they are thinking of sex.

The next few scenes show guys adjusting their belts.

Then she meets her dream man and he doesn't wear a belt. She even asks him about the theory.

Then it shows a shot of him adjusting his suspenders.

Amanda Peet has a few scenes but thankfully (for her career) she exits soon after. When she was sent the script she should of used it to kill bugs.

This is the type of movie that everyone who sees it, leaves the theatre as an aspiring screenwriter.
