Admirable film.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Nice road and food movie with some real heart! Haven't seen many US movies like this.A movie about friendship, live, passion, liberty and freedom. Well written and performed.I only wish the real America would look like this and not like this trumpish paranoid hell with shootings every day.
I was totally taken aback by the whole flow and story of this movie. The storyline is INCREDIBLE and the casting and actors were nothing short of PHENOMENAL. But what really hits home in this film is just the way this movie fills your heart. A broken family is made whole and a career once thought over is restored. This film just runs full circle. I LOVE it. I wish I could rate it over 10/10 because it deserves it. GREAT JOB. I really enjoyed this one!
I can start by saying that Chef is a simple, light and satisfying comedy that despite not having a great script, conquer you by the charisma of the characters and by the good vibe of the movie, which shows a recognized head chef, who leaves his job in a restaurant after having his creative freedom denied, and starting a new business outside of the professional kitchen, taking advantage to narrow neglected family ties. We still have great performances from Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr. and Dustin Hoffman, in this written, directed and starring Jon Favreau movie.
I always love movies about Cooking, because these kind of movies makes you to try new things on your own or forces you to taste all new kind of things.Chef does the second part better better than the first part. Story wise : It a predictable and feel good story line, it includes the main character who dreams to try different recipes and to enjoy himself. also trying to get connected with his son and also his wife. Some scenes will make you say wow that looks tasty. sometimes the movie brings small smile on your face. These kind of things Chef does it brilliantly. Acting wise: john favreau was good as the father/main character, the kid was good. my favorite Character was Martin (John Leguizamo) the friend of main character, he was funny. Overall: if you want to feel good or to enjoy 2hr of your life , then IMO this one should be on your list.
