It’s easy to see why
Writer/Director/Actor Jon Favreau’s Chef won the Heineken Audience Favorite Award at
the Tribeca Film Festival.
With an all-star cast, including Sophia Vergara,
Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey, Jr., Dustin Hoffman, John Leguizamo, Amy
Sedaris and Oliver Platt, plus beautiful camera work by Cinematographer Kramer
Morgenthau and his mostly-on script, Favreau manages to keep the action
spirited and fun.
The story involves a workaholic chef
(Favreau), who is hampered from expressing his true artistry by the
conservative restaurant owner (Hoffman) for whom he works. Fired, when he goes off on a rant against a
food critic (Platt), the chef has to rebuild his confidence and his
relationship with his son (Emjay Anthony) and estranged wife (Vergara…who’s
never looked lovelier).
You’ll have some good laughs and come out hungry.
