Review of Chef (2014) by Lukechristiansc — 14 Feb 2016
Writer-director Jon Favreau's "Chef" is a delightful film with great characters, heartwarming not to mention has a heart and a soul, forgot to mention is a piece of art. It's exquisite and after done watching the film it's if you haven't ate some food this will make you starved to death.
Plot: Jon Favreau writes, directs and stars as Carl Casper, an acclaimed chef with a family life as decaying as his artistic freedom. Those frustrations boil over into a raucous viral-videoed public confrontation against a food critic (Oliver Platt) who panned his cooking that his boss Riva (Dustin Hoffman) ordered him to make against his own extincts.
His career now ruined, his ex-wife Inez (Sofia Vergara) offers an unorthodox solution in Miami: refit an old food truck. Now him and his son Percy (Emjay Anthony) and old colleague Martin (John Leguizamo) take a working trip across America.
Favreau does an amazing job in front and behind the camera, what's also spectacular is the supporting cast not to mention the best child acting performance from Emjay Anthony. Leguizamo is actually funny also does a good performance.
