Chef

Chef Review 8/10

 This didn't get much publicity or mainstream press but under a
recommendation from a friend I was happy to learn that this is movie
many people should watch. It has an all star cast led by Favreau, the
director himself.

Some complaints I've read are about how they overuse twitter and social
media, almost like they are advertising it. I disagree and believe that
it was essential to the story. A chef receives a terrible review by the
most acclaimed food critic in the country. The review blows up on
twitter so with the help of his son, he creates his own account. When
he responds to the critic via twitter, he thinks he has only privately
messaged him when in reality the whole world can see what he wrote.

The other part of the story is the relationship he has with his son and
ex-wife. In my view, the underlying story is to pursue what you love.
Don't let anyone tell you what to do, if you have a dream go and make
it happen. As long as you're happy, life is good. With a solid cast and
enough comedy to keep it lighthearted, I highly recommend this film.
