Fresh, lively and authentic. It's good-natured without being flat, simple without being shallow. Characters and dialog are convincing. The humor is low key but effective. The father and son dynamic comes off genuine, not forced, and succeeds in avoiding over-sentimentality. Favreau and the supporting cast are all wonderful. Oh, and the cooking scenes are a delight. Don't watch this if you're hungry.

Chef is primarily about a father-son relationship, professional fulfilment, and even social media, more than it is about food. For me, all this adds up to a film that is a little disappointing. Trying to enjoy it for what it is, is made harder by constant contrived circumstances and lacklustre dialogue. Not to mention bland, mildly annoying characters (and cast), with the sole exception of Leguizamo who seemed to be the only believable person in the entire film.

While this easily could have been a meaningless feel-good comedy, Favreau surprised. Favreau shines on all fronts here, and his all-star supporting cast, especially Leguizamo, totally rock. With some killer cinematography and a rocking soundtrack, the somewhat cliche script is made entertaining. I was a bit zurprised with this one, and in the good way. Hats off to Favreau for this one.

It felt like a blind date with Gary Busey. It starts out as planned, but then something odd happens. Nothing else happens during the rest of the date, but because it's Gary Busey you keep expecting something weird. So even though it's a sweet feel good movie, you keep fearing the worst.

Feels quite rudderless and has no real arc. It just 'goes' and feels more like a stretched short. Not sure about Favreau's acting either... However, the film is enjoyable to watch mainly because of its theme and atmosphere.

Irresistibly fun movie. Simple, low-key, indie sensibilities; it's a straight-ahead story with no bells and whistles, and it's compelling from minute one. Jon Favreau's performance and direction are both spot-on, and he assembles a stellar supporting cast. A plethora of beautiful-looking food, and a surprisingly accurate grasp of technology enhance proceedings. Excellent.

This was fun and lighthearted. If you're a food porn enthusiast, you'll eat this shit up. A handful of awkward scenes should've been left on the cutting room floor and it tapped into the social media zeitgeist a bit too much for my liking, but watching those characters pursuing their passion with such gusto made for a fun and easy watch.

This film inspired me.....to make an awesome grilled cheese sammich! Damn I'm hungry now. Highly enjoyable film filled with great food and music. Makes me want to buy a food truck (or an RV) and hit the road. Also nice to see a movie use actual social media that's true to real life, like Vine and Twitter. A lesser film would of had them using Snake Rope and Bird Chat!

I expected a good movie, but I really didn't expect... this. This movie feels amazing. It's not very dramatic, or hysterically funny for that matter, but it's just so lovely and snug... this movie made me use the word "snug", that's how good it is. I don't often feel good after feelgood movies, but this feelgood movie definitely made me feel good. Also, obligatory remark about eating before seeing this movie.

Chef is an easy-to-digest film, even if it's too long and filled with distracting cameos. It's still funny, it's still sweet, and it feels real. And, if you know about Jon Favreau's career, you might be able to read more into the text than those who do not. Chef is a good film, and if you watch it you will likely walk away from it with a smile -- and a desire to eat something ASAP. Don't watch Chef on an empty stomach.

The food critic in the movie weren’t wrong - the stuffy restaurant food in the beginning looks pretty “eh,” the Cuban food truck chow later on looks pretty bomb ass. Movie is quite funny and charming altogether, and refreshingly eschews introducing some late second act misunderstanding or problem, sticking to a chill hangout food porn vibe.

Like a two hour commercial for twitter marketed for the cooking channel, with a washed up Hoffman and Scarlett Johansson's cornhusk voice thrown into the mix for the first half. Fortunately those two don't stick around for the second half. There are some nice bits of the father and son and Cuban jazz, but on the whole it all feels half-baked.

Chef seems like half an idea that's been put to film without enough development. For while it's a competent, well-directed effort, the plot is somewhat empty, everything moves along too conveniently and there's very little drama to make you care enough about the characters. It's a pleasant and inoffensive watch on a quiet Sunday night, but ultimately distanced enough from reality to mean you don't get much out of your almost two hours - as swiftly as they pass.

Has an odd structure, with its long build up to the main events, lack of adversity & then long succession of feel good moments with no juxtaposing lows. We do learn a bit during "Chef" though; that Vergara cannot act, extensive use of social media as a plot device is always shit, & that food should be seasoned from a great height only & then grilled/fried to the satisfaction of Favreau's waistline before consuming. The father/son story is nice, as is "Chef" in general, but it's so forgettable.

Pretty charming look at a passionate chef and foodie culture. There's a surprising ensemble cast and the father/son story works. Leguizamo is thankfully not as annoying as he usually is either. For anyone that appreciate cooking and food porn this is quite nice. It's a fairly light hearted comedy and doesn't go too deep into the cynicism which is a nice change of pace. It's the film equivalent of one of those cuban sandwiches.

There's nothing surprising about this film - no drama at all. It just delivers a nice atmosphere, delicious shots of culinary treats and a quality cast, and that's just fine. Not all films need to aim to be the next Citizen Kane or the next The Dark Knight. Kudos to Favreau for making this smaller film after a couple of Iron Man films.

Really loved it. Favreau throws out something personal every decade or so that I find myself responding to pretty profoundly, for whatever reason--I loved SWINGERS, I loved MADE, and now here's this one. Maybe it's just that I identify with Favreau's solo vehicles. This one's about fatherhood, and settling comfortably into middle age, and seeing to it that you're living the dream. Super upbeat and likable and unfailingly pleasant and that's all.

It's hard for me to enjoy a film that conforms to the most commercial Hollywood feelgood template available. It's even harder when that film is hypocritically promoting the virtues of artistic freedom and individuality over commercial concerns. This is bland, cliche-ridden fluff, with the predictability of a metronome and the usual absurd Hollywood triumph over adversity theme that's so far from the real world the film seems to be convinced it inhabits that I found it hard to make it to the end.

Favreau's extended response to his critics? Oddly enough, his much touted return to small film making is completely conventional and only 'risky' in a personal financial sense(re: he was going to make less money). Kudos to him for being less greedy than other Hollywood directors, but exercising a level of self restraint is not impressive in and of itself. The film is perfectly watchable, and the cast are enjoying themselves, but it's also unambitious and totally forgettable.

Such a heart-warmer, and not just because of its confident plot -- chef wants to do his menu, follows his boss and is attacked by an angry critic, becomes an internet meme, gets an RV from his wife's former husband (Downey Jr., great), takes the road with one of his assistants and his son, receives an offer by the critic to run his own place, gets his wife back. Too tidy up, but it's amazing how Favreau adds social media (Twitter, Vine) to this frantic part food film, part father-and-son drama.

I enjoyed it but wasn't madly in love with it or anything. The chemistry between father and son was there, and even though it really didn't do anything new with the genre (the indie dramedy/feel good story), it did it well. I didn't really find it that funny, but it was interesting and what little drama there was worked for me. The part with the 1 second videos edited together was genuinely touching. Also has a great soundtrack with reworkings of some classic songs.

Aaah, that Favreau, he got me on this one. Went in expecting to be bored or annoyed by what looked to be the classic "feel good story". And sure, you could easily see the character arcs being set up and knocked down with the precision that I normally can't stand in these types of movies. And yeah, that is one unrealistically talented kid. And yeah, Favreau and Vergara?! Jeez Jon, shoot the moon, I guess. But there was a real great energy and spirit to this one that really worked for me.

What a lot of fun this film is. The father and son relationship arc is a solid foundation for the story which takes you on ride of emotion. The film is rough around the edges but its overshadowed by fun interactions, clever dialogue and a captivating script. Alot of reviews have mentioned the food scenes are like watching 'food porn'! I 100% agree, those scenes are really effective and will have you running to the nearest restaurant as soon as the film credits role!

A renowned chef in a rut (Jon Favreau) quits his job and sets up a food truck with his sous-chef (John Leguizamo) and son (EmJay Anthony), rediscovering his love for good food and his love for his family--especially his ex-wife (Sofia Vergara). Writer-director Favreau does a fine job all around; if it flirts with being an ego trip on his part, he makes sure to show all of his character's dimensions. Sprightly, funny, and uncontrived, a celebration of life, love, and great-looking food.

Almost bizarrely quaint and dated by going all-in on the "new fad" of Twitter (perhaps too much so): at heart a flagrantly indulgent and flabby "hang-out" movie, with Downey's gratuitous cameo the biggest clue as to what we are dealing with. This cast in such a genuinely warm hearted movie is irresistible anyway, even without the mouth wateringly delicious food on display, which gets the film at least an extra 5 points! Amusing casting of Hoffman as the personification of the "establishment"!

Credit to Favreau for making a film that made me hungry for food (Cuban cuisine) as well as a film that is sincere in terms of (starting to) come to appreciate social media (in particular Twitter) as a pharmakon. However these positives do not outweigh the negatives, mainly the predictable but at the same time inconsistent plot as well as Downey Jnr's bizarre cameo (bizarre in the sense that his character seems to have been inserted in the film just so Downey Jnr could be in Favreau's film).

This is a decent film, and an undeniable crowd pleaser with it's amazing food photography and upbeat story, but it's also a bit of a confused mess. I don't find a lot of the decisions made very plausible, particular Hoffman's dumbfounding decisions, and many character actions seem to happen just because the plot needs them to happen. I'm also not sure that Favreau has really decided what the film is about.

I watched without knowing anything about the film, but in hindsight, it's very obvious that Roy Choi had a hand in this. The movie is about a chef who quits his job because he was creatively stifled, and it is probably autobiographical for Favreau's Hollywood career. But it still comes across as rather ironic that everything in this movie is played safe, with likeable characters abound, minimal drama, and a father-son bonding tale which has been done a million times over.

Enjoyable fast-paced fast food film which unashamedly taps into the social media zeitgeist to turn an everyday premise into something more glamorous and hip than it ought to be. Who doesn't love a food truck? The performances are fine and the directing A-ok, but maybe the script is a tad shallow and there are too few obstacles in between the chef's predicament and his goal. I mean the kid didn't even trap his hand in a sandwich press, proving that this is hardly Kramer-vs-Kramer levels of drama.

Hard to find the comedy in this movie. Better options elsewhere if you're looking for finding your self journeys.

A feel-good film about a chef turned meme turned chef again that has a nice authentic cuisine attached to its plot, with strange cameos throughout. Also it's a very subtle metaphor to Jon Favreau quitting Iron Man. I cannot stop thinking about the food.

Don't expect anything new or surprising, but you can expect a decent and warm time. It doesn't bore you, makes you want to cook and is well acted and directed. Decent and enjoyable watch. 8.19: exactly what I said, a great feel good, fun film.

A delicious little fantasy about taking control of one's life. A fun way to pass the time, but no more than that.

Jon Favreau serves up some culinary goodness in this comedy about bringing family together through hard work and food. I thought this was a pretty fun movie, but only once he starts working on his food truck. The first half of the movie was a little slow and was so focused on how hard life is and being whiny about food critics. I do love how this movie focuses on the good and bad things that social media can bring to a business...

Not much of a story here, but you've got so much charm and genuine feel-good you don't actually care.

There are some movies that you really enjoy even if you can see the flaws, or at least what other people would view as flaws, Chef was one of these movies. Yes, there does seem to be a lack of conflict, but at the same time I also felt that the conflict was more subtle. Yes, it has the happy ending that you saw coming a mile away, but weren't convinced would happen. I just enjoyed the movie though. It was charming and I couldn't help but smile throughout it.

A feast for the senses - taste buds and ears in particular. It's a good-natured crowd-pleaser that's very light on conflict. Mixes passion for cooking, father-son bonding and social media. I wouldn't recommend watching this if you're on a diet or don't have some delicious food to gorge on.

This feels like a bland movie that evades every possible conflict in the movie, all the characters are good guys and the chef just moves along with almost no troubles. Nevertheless is entertaining, but you are left empty afterwards

Well-written, well-acted, and well-produced. Jon Favreau did an excellent job at the helm of this movie. Great performances by Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, and Favreau. It made crave all the food in the movie too!

Chef is one of the surprising, charming and pleasant gems of 2014. This initially looked like one of the films of the year to avoid and with the exception of his work on Iron Man, I've never been a big fan of Jon Favreau. But credit to the director, writer and star here for doing something refreshingly different. Metaphorically there's an obvious correlation between this film and John Favreau's career. Some of the cameos feel shoehorned in, but the cast is strong and the humour is well balanced.
