Chef (2014)
Enjoyable Movie but,,,
Although I really enjoyed the movie there were a few things I could not get past. Firstly, Twitter must have been a sponsor of this film, since it was constantly brought up throughout the movie. It was as if the movie was being interrupted by multiple twitter commercials covering: setting up an account, how to send tweets, twitters unique functions, etc. At times it did make of meaningful dialogue and "flashback" moments but I think they overdid it with Twitter mentions. Secondly, the cameo of Robert Downing Jr. whose character was once again a "rich playboy with a sprinkle of neurotic" for comic relief (No real point). Lastly, Sofia Vergara playing Favreau ex-wife was difficult to comprehend. Not only did the movie never really go into explaining their past relationship, but the scenes with them together via phone or in person lacked good dialogue and chemistry. I did however appreciate the Father and son relationship aspect, as well as the development of Favreau character throughout the movie.
Side note, do not eat any food during the movie, there is just so much delicious food being shown on screen that any concession type food will only become more tasteless.
