Like Water For Chocolate

I just watched Como Agua Para Chocolate, a Mexican film based on the book of the same name. Perhaps the book is more enjoyable to read, because I found the movie a little uninvolving. There is supposed to be a lot of passion, emotion, and color portrayed by the characters involved, but I didn't feel it. I felt like much of it was subdued, and the third-party narration took a little away from things. It would have been more powerful to see and hear the characters thoughts rather than hear them from the narrator.
