It's such a treat to see such an endearing slice o' life in the middle of this blockbuster season. There's not a single comic book character in sight. January 5, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The result is a small, unashamedly feel-good film that makes up for what it lacks in dramatic jeopardy with gentle comedy, heartwarming family scenes, ladles of food porn, and time spent among characters you like. July 7, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Jon Favreau's enjoyable and good-natured farce is a rarity in that (as its title tells us) it takes a chef as its central character and treats his profession with something approaching respect. June 27, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Here's Chef to show us all, for now and evermore, just what a vanity project really looks like. A public service, in its way. June 27, 2014 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

There's nourishment to be had, if you lower your expectations. But be warned: a lot of it is just watching Jon Favreau make toasties in a van. June 26, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The first time you do something it might be fresh and risky, but the tenth, twentieth, you risk becoming repetitive and bland. "Chef" is about a creative personality trying to break free from a system that fosters this repetition and stagnation. July 8, 2020 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The central father-son story line is not especially Michelin star-worthy, and the film as a whole will not set modern cinema ablaze. June 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Favreau is clearly a food buff and knows his stuff, creating in Carl a character that is believable both as a successful chef and a less successful family man. March 5, 2019 | Full Review…
