Review of Chef (2014) by Chiek E — 30 Sep 2017
Favreau has the demeanor and build to authentically portray a gifted chef who lived to please the palates of others. But he had to juggle his occupational passion with his desire to be a good father to an impressionable 10 year old boy, whom his ex-wife has custody.
This feel good movie, with passion for making good food was the film's centerpiece, while the other themes of life as a divorcee and fatherhood and dream chasing fleshed out the rest of the movie.
Grateful surely to be in the film were his proteges Marvel stars, Iron-man and Black Widow who are forever indebted to Favreau for their super stardom fame, glory and riches. Even more so for RDJ for his resurrection.
One can't help compare "Chef" with the other film, "Burnt", also about a struggling chef, released not too long before. Even though Bradley was definitely more easy on the eyes and seemingly spoke impeccable French, it just didn't have the magic of "Chef".
His racoon power singularly was clearly no match to Favreau, Ironman and black widow.
