Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

quelemi Have seen this movie lots of times and during all times I feel the expression on my face.. it jyst najes me smile! Love it!

sibashritmohanty I felt happy while watching this movie and after I finished watching it. The actors did justice to their characters. Very believable story and performances. The story takes us through a journey that the father-son duo embark on. A journey where their relationship with each other and with the audience matures and strengthens. Frustration, loneliness, love, all surface with deep authenticity. To top this beautiful movie are Sofia Vergara's accent and her smile. There is a guarantee of not getting bored while the family explores the intricacies of relationship through passion for cooking and the search for happiness. Irrespective of how you watch it, through a philosopher's eyes or through the eyes of a laid back engineering student, this movie will treat you delicacies whose taste shall linger for some time after the journey ends with a sweet note. May not be a must watch for anyone, but its definitely a movie that you will not regret watching and there is a fair chance that you will feel extremely content and satisfied.Thank you.

Michael Ledo There is nothing like a fun family film with a family message and a few F-bombs tossed in for the kids.Carl is a chef who gets hammered with an on line review. He gets into a Twitter war with the critic leading to his termination from work. Carl most go from being with Molly (Scarlett Johansson) "will have sex for food" to living off the charity of his still loving ex-wife Inez (Sofía Vergara). I wish I had his bad luck.Carl succumbs to his wife's idea of obtaining a food truck which causes him to bond with his son and other formulaic ideas to the point of nausea. The problem I had with the script and film is that it tried so hard to create a feel good formula film it seemed plastic and fake. The characters and situation never seemed real, which makes this nothing more than a substandard comedy.A mildly entertaining film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Ian (Flash Review)Another food and cooking-focused story that is much happier than another recent release Burnt. Chef follows a chef who is fed up with being creatively handcuffed by the restaurant owner who is satisfied with an menu that sells well yet doesn't sell intrigue for a certain food blogger and his recent Tweet. The chef has a techie son who is a social media wiz and the Chef gets signed up for Twitter and fires off an angry reply. Cue techie kid vs non-techie father gags for the remainder. Will there be a social media firestorm? Will the chef find his cooking zen elsewhere? There is a secondary plot focus of a strained father/son relationship. Perhaps cooking will ease that strain…hint hint. Overall, it had a very expected story arc yet felt happy and uplifting. Compared with similar recent food movies, it was better and happier than Burnt and had a tighter story than The Hundred-Foot Journey.
