If anything, this review was too gentle. The film was simply awful. I feel sorry for the supporting cast. It was pathetic.

About two sentences in I thought that maybe this review was a joke to mimic the review that Favreau\’s character got from the asshole critic in the movie! Go elsewhere for your reviews folks, Chef has an 88% thumbs up rating which is an excellent review from a diverse, tough, yet objective audience. It wasn\’t the greatest movie ever made, but it *was* a really good one. This bloodbath actually DOES feel personal, angry, pathetic and very *very* amateur. Heck Emjay Anthony\’s performance alone makes Tyne movie well worth your hour and a half.

Great review. One other thing worth mentioning too is how ridiculous it is that Favreau's character can't speak Spanish. His (Spanish-speaking) ex-wife has to translate his ex-father-in-law's comment which was something simple like; "Are you two back together?'. Okay – so this is a guy who STARTED HIS CAREER in Miami where would have been surrounded by a kitchen full of Mexicans, MARRIED a woman for whom English is her second language, has a Spanish best friend in John Leguzuimo and now works a huge kitchen in Los Angeles and you're telling me he can't speak a lick of Spanish?? Sorry – the whole thing lost me there and shows just what little thought Favreau really gave his subject here. Also – that whole bit before he confronts Oliver Platt where he runs home in a rage and cooks a feast. Ridiculous. Anyoen who has ever met a real chef would know he would have gone home and got hammered.

Wow. You really thought it was a bore? I saw it at Tribeca with tons of people in the audience and we were all cracking up. I walked in expecting it to be a cheesy, pandering mess. I walked out a big fan. I really enjoyed myself and appreciated Favreau's nod to Latino culture.

This review seems far too harsh. Having seen the movie, I understand some of the complaints you lob at it but this absolute gutting seems entirely unnecessary/uncharacteristically brutal for a rather good, if not strictly passable film. Did Favreau pull a Bryan Singer on the IW staffers?
