bartholomew B Nov 17 It's a perfectly good movie without a political agenda. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the reviews. The low scores are due to this being a Miramax film associated with Harvey Weinstein, and that's the problem with RT: the ratings are not about the film or the quality of the actors behind the script. Instead, it's the political agenda RT wishes to convey. We are at a point in tech where we can train a machine to make predictions based on content and identify clear bias. This is one of those movies with low RT scores that we can prove are driven by bias rather than content. Premise: Bradley Cooper plays a two-star Michelin Chef and recovering drug addict seeking his third Michelin star in, of all places, London. The film drives home the point that success isn't an individual feat but one that requires the help of friends and those we would call family. Easter Eggs: Count the references to Henry David Thoreau's Walden or Life in the Woods. I liked it.

The pacing is terrible and none of the lines really felt like they meant anything. The idea of the movie is good and it does all the things a movie is supposed to do on paper, but none of it lands. It feels like the movie didn't have enough time because the movie spends way too long in the first half running around gathering a cast of characters you'll barely get to know or care about. And you watch as everything comes together but just like mediocre food it's just bland I'm not the best at knowing where things went wrong but most of the acting seemed decent and the writing was probably okay. So my guess is either a lot of good material was left on the cutting room floor or the direction to make this a cohesive dish instead of a bowl of ingredients. That being said despite how bad it is I will give it credit because I AM disappointed. The movie makes me want to see a better version itself. It feels like there was something really good here that got ruined somewhere along the way See more Tucker H Sep 7 Fun to see Bradley Cooper reprise his role from the hangover. The characters are very fleshed out, the history of them is good. The twist during the first Micheline scene was probably one of the best twists I've seen because it calls back to something that was important in the first act, but I (and the audience probably) completely forgot about. Only reason its not 5 stars is because some of the characters get left by the wayside in terms, Max for example, was introduced as the chef that went to prison and worked with the others in the first kitchen, but doesn't have too much development himself.

I think the acting makes the movie. Pretty fast paced and not too long of a movie See more Bob J Aug 5 This is a good movie. I read some of the negative reviews and negative comments about this movie on Reddit and it appears that a lot of people don't like the egotistical personality of the main character. The movie shows the redemption arc for the main character so that gets resolved, as far as I am concerned. The casting and acting is excellent in this movie and the writing was fine. Many people that gave this movie 5 stars said they appreciated how realistic this movie is about working in a luxury restaurant and I also appreciated that aspect of this movie.
