Audience Member One of my favourite films. Love it. Great acting and story. Bradley Cooper’s performance is, as always, amazing. I would definitely recommend watching this film. Don’t pay attention t9 the poor ratings. I would also recommend you watch the film The Chef. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Andrew S If you never care about the lead character, it's hard to stay engaged in a movie, yes? This Jones guy is a total douche. We see it throughout the film, thinking he's God's gift to humanity because he can make a plate of bacon with a dandelion and sell it for 80 British Pounds. In the past, as we learn, he was a pr**k to his colleagues and in the present, nothing has changed except I suppose we should feel some empathy because he has become sober. I did not. First off, who cares about super high end restaurants except a very small subsection of society who enjoy eating in a sterile environment and paying $100 for a cube of pork (teaspoon of mashed potatoes sold separately)? Are there really people who allow these arrogant self absorbed self righteous chefs to wipe their butts with their hair and then thank them for such a privilege? If we are to believe this movie, there are. Gross. If this is accurate, it's a sad element of society for sure. I worked in restaurants and as a server, had two 'chefs' go off on me because they were frustrated and in both cases I left the job. It just wasn't worth being treated like dirt because a guy could cook a decent meal but couldn't act civilly under pressure. By the end of this movie, which I only completed out of having absolutely nothing else to do (except get ready for bed), I was so filled with disdain for this guy, I had to ask myself 'why bother showcasing this crap in a movie?'. I asked my girlfriend why the girl chef would fall for such a douche and she said, to some women, the prospect of changing a man for the better is an addictive drug. Yes, of course, I thought. I forgot about that. Made me wonder what the equivalent is for men when drawn to a nut case hot chick. Why stay with her, with all the wasted hours in emotional drama? But then it hit me... that a**! So I guess by the end, I had a little insight into the whole mess. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Honestly one of the worst movies ever, the dialogue was horribly written I can tell this comes for a nepo baby. Talentless writer; stick to acting. Waste of an hour of my life on something worst then basic. DONT RECOMMEND. THIS MOVIE SHOULD DELETED FROM EXCISTENCE. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Weston B Shot well, but ultimately failed to show up when it mattered. This feel-good film made me feel like I wasted a couple hours. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review william s A pretty accessible premise to begin with, and the type of feel good story I normally enjoy. But, our main character, played by cooper, is at times too unlikeable and is really the villain in his own redemption story. Not like that’s a new concept, but it does kind of force the movie to have to drum up some contrived challenges along the way since there’s not a true villain/opposition to challenge or push him. Also, the movie was super on the nose with the dialogue at times. For example, the movie starts off with a voiceover where Cooper just tells the audience his whole backstory while shucking oysters. Then he gets his old crew back together, but they are all pissed at him… how much more interesting would it have been to just see him shucking oysters, quit, then meet up with all these people who hate him for some reason? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Dan R Feels like a redemption the very early setting of this movie, big fan of Bradley Coopers work and this is no exception. Great movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
