![]() ![]() He moves from day to day going through the motions (like everyone does), until he reaches a point where he finds it hard to continue on this path.Īnd that’s where I connected with the movie. The film is essentially a story about someone who struggles with the daily grind. ![]() What I never expected was to connect with it in the way that I did. I expected to like Chef, simply because I’ve heard a positive buzz about the movie. More importantly, I’ve really enjoyed watching this story. He has reconnected with his kid, has a good relationship with his ex, and everything is going well. That said, I’m still interested to see where this goes.ġhr 47mins – The film is coming to an end now and as the credits roll, Favreau has moved from his van into a new restaurant. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I’m confident he’ll make a success of things. He’ll be his own boss, which is cool, yet daunting and stressful at the same time. *Checks down the back of the sofa for any stray food*ġhr 6mins – So, with his career in dire straits, Favreau is now looking to try a new job – cooking up dishes from a food truck. I’ve never had a heated exchange with a food critic, but I’ve had times where I have questioned what I’m doing in my life and/or career. *Checks freezer for something – anything to eat*Ĥ8mins – You know, this movie is really connecting with me on a certain level. First he had an argument with his boss, then he shouted at a food critic (in an exchange that was filmed and posted online). *Checks cupboard for crisps/nuts/some kind of cordon bleu meal* Image: ©LionsgateĤ2mins – After becoming increasingly frustrated, Favreau has just had a huge meltdown at work. Favreau is a great director, with a strong screen presence, and I’m really enjoying what is being served up (no pun intended). This film has a real laid back quality, with lots of heart. I’m less than a quarter of the way through Chef and I can confidently say what I’m seeing here is very good. *Realises that all the crisps have now been eaten*Ģ4mins – You know, I feel I need to say this – this is a cool movie. I think we can all understand where he’s coming from, right? We’ve all felt like we’re in a rut from time-to-time and need a new challenge. He works at a restaurant and understands the need to serve up popular dishes, yet it is not making him happy doing the same thing day-in, day-out. *Reaches for more crisps* Image: ©Lionsgateġ1mins – OK, so what I’m getting from the story so far is that Jon Favreau’s character is a chef who is in a creative rut. ![]() And when I say “may have to eat something” what I really mean is “I will be eating throughout this movie”.ħmins – Oh, Scarlet Johansson and Dustin Hoffman are in this movie? I did not know this. This film is making me very, very hungry. 5 mins – Within the first five minutes of clicking ‘play’ I’ve seen a lot of food in this movie. ![]()
