Clifton Johnson Is it predictable? Yeah. Is it Hollywood? Yeah. Is it disguised as indie? Yeah. But Favreau knows what he's doing. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a movie, a soundtrack and a little fun. Somewhere between Swingers and Iron Man, this movie came into being...and that is a good thing.

Ian (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 strainhint 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.

harisz4 the movie was like a 2 hour long advertising campaign for twitter. Was quite predictable and monotonous.There were no parts of the movie that were actually exciting. It was mundane. the acting of the lead character was strained in my opinion and i believe it did not fit the role.
