Leon B @FrederikBrotzeit Feb 16 Because it goes on too long. There's no climax. It portrays a really strange kind of relationship, regardless of the context: be it the father-son or ex-wife/ex-husband relationship, or simply characters who lack depth. (His Mexican friend is cool.) But: the main character has absolutely no character development. You wonder, is the son just so desperate for recognition and love from his father, and is that why it's child labor? What's going on? The only good thing is the soundtrack, and otherwise, you're just bored the whole time and wonder why such strange dialogue and strange sequences keep happening. The basic idea is cool. It definitely needs to be developed completely differently. Why such good actors for such a random film, and why is it far too long, and what's the message? The message makes no sense; there's no moral. It's just... the guy is just weird. See more 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 Read all reviews
