Chef
Rating 8 out of 10
When this movie came out earlier in the year I thought it looked interesting, but didn't have a big desire to go to the theater and see it. It started getting great reviews which gave me a little more interest in seeing it . Yet it was only playing in a few theaters and I went to see something else. A few of my friends saw it and highly recommended it. The movie finally came to RedBox so I gave it a try.
Yes folks, it's a pretty good movie. It is a fairly low budget movie with an amazing cast and a good script. It stars Jon Faverau who has been balancing his acting with directing (he directed the first Iron Man movie and many others) which he bout acts and directs this movie. Faverau plays master chef Carl Casper working in a big Los Angeles restaurant. He is frustrated because the owner (Dustin Hoffman) won't let him spread his wings with the menu instead wanting to put the same thing on the table year after year. When a big food reviewer calls him out on this he goes nuts. It gets filmed and everyone sees it.
The movie is about Casper reinventing himself and getting back in touch with his son that lives with is ex-wife. It's a likable movie with a good story. Besides Dustin Hoffman it has Sofia Vergara, Scarlett Johansson, John Leguizamo, Robert Downey Jr and more.
With the cold weather coming in you could do worse than curling up on the couch with a blanket and popping this movie into the DVD player. I enjoyed it.
