Terri D. @DuncTF Jan 3 A hidden gem that makes you feel good about the movies. This proves that movies are capable of being smart, heartfelt, funny and entertaining. See more Br S @BurTErn Dec 29 Slow to start and seemed very formulaic. And if you're using your celebrity connections, I'd make Scarlett Johansson my love interest too as jarringly awkward as it looks and sounds. It starts to get interesting when the food truck appears. But then when his son does the "yes chef" thing, that just completely took me out of this film. It felt so contrived, so unrealistic, like here's all this failure fixed and now the son respects his father.... for his profession. It seems so dumb, I couldn't finish this film. See more Arizona V @AZVeteran Dec 13 An incredible, heartfelt movie. The cast was outstanding, and I loved every minute of it. I’m honestly upset I didn’t discover this film sooner. See more Thom H @ThomH Dec 10 Jon Favreau has gone back to making the kind of movies he loves, and I graciously encourage him to continue his career with this amount of honesty and passion. See more Elisheva K Dec 7 It starts like a feel-good quality film with good actors and amazing shots of food that make your mouth water, but somewhere in the middle of the film - I would say right after the scene with RDJ, The chef is given a foodtruck and right then the film starts going downhill losing all logic and plot... It even seems like the director and writer just went on vacation from that scene on and let the actors improvise the scenes... It honestly just becomes painful to watch... See more Gery C Nov 23 An attempt on a feel-good movie that ends up playing more like a personal vanity project than a believable story. The main character is written as a misunderstood genius whose ego and attitude are treated as charming rather than real flaws, and the film bends over backward to validate him. The biggest issue is credibility: two highly attractive, successful women stay inexplicably devoted to him, with no chemistry or character logic to support it. The plot has no real stakes, conflicts resolve instantly, and the emotional beats feel forced or unearned. Pleasant food shots aside, Chef is shallow, unrealistic, and overrated.
