Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Simply A Masterpiece
Good movie but grossly overrated
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Obviously, I'm a little late to the party on this movie, I just never heard of it before watching Binging with Babish on youtube make a bunch of recipes from it. I decided to give it a go after I saw his episode with Jon himself invited on the show.The movie's got a "decent" scenario, it's just a little boring.Coming in, I expected they'd focus more on the food, since it is supposed to be centered around a great Chef. Instead, they focused heavily on the relation between the father and son. Which is not a bad thing in and on its own! ...but a bit typical. I just think it misses a lot of opportunities in a lot of scenes where they could've expended way more on the great dish they presented and the recipes... but all we got was a more or less vague explanation as to how the "lava cake" was made.Where this movie shines and it REALLY shines is in the execution of the dialogues. All the actors are great, especially Jon Favreau and the kid. I don't think I've ever seen a play as convincing as in this movie, where the dialogues felt so real, as if they were not scripted at all but genuine and honest. Favreau had a real vision for this movie and he has a great talent for putting it into words and action. So yeah, I really loved the interactions in this movie.Overall, a small yet very interesting emotional ride.
Likeable characters, on topic and lots of foodie 'porn.' Leguizamo is always fantastic and the story line was really great. Favreau does such a good job as usual. Sofia Vergara is great!! The music is awesome and the cooking is enthralling. A must see!

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.
