That was an excellent one.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Blistering performances.
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.
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.
Then movie is funny and it did inspired me a lot. A Must watch film.
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.
