Jon Favreau (writer, director and producer) leads a hilarious all-star cast including Sofรญa Vergara, Scarlett Johansson, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Robert Downey Jr. and young actor Emjay Anthony in this deliciously entertaining comedy about starting from scratch. When gifted chef Carl Casper (Favreau) suddenly quits his demanding job at a trendy LA restaurant, he's on his own to pick up the pieces of his once promising career. Finding himself in Miami, he decides to team up with his successful ex-wife (Vergara), best friend (Leguizamo) and son (Anthony) to launch a no-frills food truck business. Taking to the road, Carl reignites his passion for the kitchen and, along the way, discovers a renewed zest for life and love.

Loving & Well-Made Character Piece
To be clear, really this is what would normally be a 3 out of 5 stars movie - just the really, really well made version of a 3 star movie. Although this film may not have giant ambitions or a high stakes plot, the story is very well told AND told with a lot of heart. Jon Favreau knows how to assemble a film, and so despite a low-budget, the film's production value looks amazing. The cast us uniformly terrific. Everyone turns in great performances - even the bit turns by folks like Oliver Platt and Robert Downey, Jr. If you like cooking, delicious food and a good family dramedy, Chef is worth a spin. PS: On a separate rant, this film really underlines the problems with the MPAA. This movie is rated R because characters swear in a way that is accurate to how cooks talk in the kitchen. But despite that language (which I imagine kids have heard anyways), this is one of the most wholesome and loving films I've seen in years. I'd much rather have kids see something like this than the majority of the uber-violent PG-13 action movies out there.

A Must Have, Fun To Watch Movie If You Enjoy Restaurant/Eatery Themed Movies!
Was looking for DVD movies to watch at home with restaurant/eatery-based themes. (Dinner Rush is one of our favorite movies, we watch it over and over again!) Purchased Chef, and it did not disappoint! - Great movie to watch if you enjoy restaurant/eatery-themed movies. - Simply a Fun To Watch movie that will make you smile and laugh! - Great filming. The movie perfectly catches the inner workings ... and sometimes chaos ... of a food truck. - A fabulous cast that blends together to tell the movie's story. Another great portrayal from the actor Dustin Hoffman. - A movie you can watch over and over again. I highly recommend this product.
