Going To The Movies: Chef
Plot:
Carl Casper is a genius chef that truly loves the food he prepares. Well, at least when he can cook the things he wants to. It's all good until his very strict and very close-minded boss forces him to cook the regular (and according to Casper boring) menu for a very renewed and important food critique and blogger. The critique is far from impressed and that is about to cost Casper his career. Then social media makes the things just about from bad to worse and the chef looses his job, temper and reputation all in once. Few awkward decisions later, our hero finds himself across the country with his very hot ex-wife, their son and a food truck. Yep, that's right, a food truck. Once being his own boss he let's go his imagination and the rest is a history.
Why Is Actually Good:
If you go pass the very cliche end, the movie is a feast for the eyes. Don't you ever try to see it on empty stomach, this is food porn! Jon Favreau is super believable as the chef who lost it all over a night and then rose from the ashes of his career. Sofia Vergara is slightly pleasing on the eye, but that's all. The movie doesn't bear any marks of a great, epic, writing-history movie but it's funny, cute, sweet and the food looks so delicious that I bet that you'll be hungry after seeing it.
Grade: 7/10
