terrible... so disappointed.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

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!

For a person who is so into food and cooking, this movie really got me hooked... the bast thing is how actors make the interaction look very natural... I loved how yhe lowest point in the movie was the beginning then it goes up from there!!!

(Flash Review)Another food and cooking-focused story that is much happier than another recent release Burnt. Chef follows a chef who is fed up with being creatively handcuffed by the restaurant owner who is satisfied with an menu that sells well yet doesn't sell intrigue for a certain food blogger and his recent Tweet. The chef has a techie son who is a social media wiz and the Chef gets signed up for Twitter and fires off an angry reply. Cue techie kid vs non-techie father gags for the remainder. Will there be a social media firestorm? Will the chef find his cooking zen elsewhere? There is a secondary plot focus of a strained father/son relationship. Perhaps cooking will ease that strain…hint hint. Overall, it had a very expected story arc yet felt happy and uplifting. Compared with similar recent food movies, it was better and happier than Burnt and had a tighter story than The Hundred-Foot Journey.

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.
