Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Xnerdz Obviously, I'm a little late to the party on this movie, I just never heard of it before watching Binging with Babish on youtube make a bunch of recipes from it. I decided to give it a go after I saw his episode with Jon himself invited on the show.The movie's got a "decent" scenario, it's just a little boring.Coming in, I expected they'd focus more on the food, since it is supposed to be centered around a great Chef. Instead, they focused heavily on the relation between the father and son. Which is not a bad thing in and on its own! ...but a bit typical. I just think it misses a lot of opportunities in a lot of scenes where they could've expended way more on the great dish they presented and the recipes... but all we got was a more or less vague explanation as to how the "lava cake" was made.Where this movie shines and it REALLY shines is in the execution of the dialogues. All the actors are great, especially Jon Favreau and the kid. I don't think I've ever seen a play as convincing as in this movie, where the dialogues felt so real, as if they were not scripted at all but genuine and honest. Favreau had a real vision for this movie and he has a great talent for putting it into words and action. So yeah, I really loved the interactions in this movie.Overall, a small yet very interesting emotional ride.
theo-lassey I was totally taken aback by the whole flow and story of this movie. The storyline is INCREDIBLE and the casting and actors were nothing short of PHENOMENAL. But what really hits home in this film is just the way this movie fills your heart. A broken family is made whole and a career once thought over is restored. This film just runs full circle. I LOVE it. I wish I could rate it over 10/10 because it deserves it. GREAT JOB. I really enjoyed this one!
Clifton Johnson Is it predictable? Yeah. Is it Hollywood? Yeah. Is it disguised as indie? Yeah. But Favreau knows what he's doing. There's nothing wrong with enjoying a movie, a soundtrack and a little fun. Somewhere between Swingers and Iron Man, this movie came into being...and that is a good thing.
Brandon Garza I am not surprised about the quality of this movie base on the actors. Words cannot explain how much I loved watching this movie and how many times I will watch it again. It is hard to get too in depth without spoiling anything but the plot flows smoothly and the roles were fulfilled with the right actors. I could not have asked for a better movie to watch with friends and/or in my alone time.
