Failing to take it's own advise

Chef (2014)

Written & directed by Jon Favreau this film stars it's director as well as Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Emjay Anthony. The chef at a restaurant is constricted in menu choices by the owner and then gets fired after a big argument with a critic.

If I had to pick one word to describe this film it would probably be “safe” as it neither challenges it's makers or the audience. The plot is a little on the slow side for my taste as it takes a bit too long for events to be set in motion but largely this is not a bad film. There is a really good supporting cast so it is a bit of a shame that the film never really takes any chances.


3/5
