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.
Then movie is funny and it did inspired me a lot. A Must watch film.

I always love movies about Cooking, because these kind of movies makes you to try new things on your own or forces you to taste all new kind of things.Chef does the second part better better than the first part. Story wise : It a predictable and feel good story line, it includes the main character who dreams to try different recipes and to enjoy himself. also trying to get connected with his son and also his wife. Some scenes will make you say wow that looks tasty. sometimes the movie brings small smile on your face. These kind of things Chef does it brilliantly. Acting wise: john favreau was good as the father/main character, the kid was good. my favorite Character was Martin (John Leguizamo) the friend of main character, he was funny. Overall: if you want to feel good or to enjoy 2hr of your life , then IMO this one should be on your list.
