GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
merelyaninnuendo ChefThere are very few features that can sneak away by the audience by simply depicting series of goodness and happy-go-lucky natured tone that never dips and is just utterly pleasing to encounter. It is shot beautifully and is visually impressive especially all the recipe cooking; it melts your heart and teases you for it. The writing couldn't be more simpler and genuinely moving if not something fresh. And as far as execution is concerned, Jon Favreau has got it covered and it possibly is one of his best work and the primary reason would be his passion and enthusiasm towards the project that he has completely pulled off with such confidence and elegance. The performance is the only aspect where the wheels get stuck for no matter how much the effort is plausible in here the relationship between the father and son doesn't come off as anticipated and fails to communicate with the audience. All the other sub-plots and tracks are unfortunately your typical relations that the viewers are familiar with hence it comes off like the makers were just distracting them until the clock stops ticking. But these are minor issues that are mostly neglected in this stunning craft titled Chef that is perfectly cooked and thoroughly appetizing that makes you want to reorder it.
sibashritmohanty I felt happy while watching this movie and after I finished watching it. The actors did justice to their characters. Very believable story and performances. The story takes us through a journey that the father-son duo embark on. A journey where their relationship with each other and with the audience matures and strengthens. Frustration, loneliness, love, all surface with deep authenticity. To top this beautiful movie are Sofia Vergara's accent and her smile. There is a guarantee of not getting bored while the family explores the intricacies of relationship through passion for cooking and the search for happiness. Irrespective of how you watch it, through a philosopher's eyes or through the eyes of a laid back engineering student, this movie will treat you delicacies whose taste shall linger for some time after the journey ends with a sweet note. May not be a must watch for anyone, but its definitely a movie that you will not regret watching and there is a fair chance that you will feel extremely content and satisfied.Thank you.
Michael Ledo There is nothing like a fun family film with a family message and a few F-bombs tossed in for the kids.Carl is a chef who gets hammered with an on line review. He gets into a Twitter war with the critic leading to his termination from work. Carl most go from being with Molly (Scarlett Johansson) "will have sex for food" to living off the charity of his still loving ex-wife Inez (Sofía Vergara). I wish I had his bad luck.Carl succumbs to his wife's idea of obtaining a food truck which causes him to bond with his son and other formulaic ideas to the point of nausea. The problem I had with the script and film is that it tried so hard to create a feel good formula film it seemed plastic and fake. The characters and situation never seemed real, which makes this nothing more than a substandard comedy.A mildly entertaining film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
SahilZAC Then movie is funny and it did inspired me a lot. A Must watch film.
