Nah Chef is fine.
Go watch a James Franco directed/starred film and get back to me. He's got like a dozen or so dumpster fires of movies that nobody has even heard of.

As an Exectutive Chef for Hyatt Hotels for the past 10 years, I enjoyed the movie... and a lot of us do have sleeves :) Thought its a terrible idea to open your own restaurant its a money pit. Work for a corporation you'll always make more money unless your a celebrity Chef
One Million Ways to Die in the West.
Seth McFarlane really, really wanted to make out with Charlize Theron so he made a bad movie justifying it. I can think of literally no better example.
Another tangential example is The Orville; the higly produced Seth Mcfarlane Star Trek fan fiction where he is the captain and gets to hang out with ex-Star Trek cast members.One Million Ways to Die in the West.

You know something is wrong when a person writes, directs, and stars in a screen adaptation of William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. And not just stars in, but plays a lynchpin character who spells out to the audience what the book is actually about.
We really aren't. Its just that for a lot of us after wearing that thin veil of being social because of the need for teamwork, cooperation and understanding as well as hanging out with the extremely extroverted wait staff, you become social. Sure a lot of people are already social as that is vital for the leadership needed in a Chef, but it grows on you as well as the years pass.
Also, not to defend The Honeymooners trope of big guy + attractive wife but its not like Faveau is an ugly dude.
It was more or less a biopic of Roy Choi and jus career.my biggest gripe with the movie tbh, should've just stuck with the food truck
Chef was really good, and that spaghetti he made for Scarlett looked amazing. Not sure how it looks disgusting to you. It's literally just pasta with olive oil, garlic, parm, lemon juice, salt and pepper, parsley and red pepper flakes. Now I'm hungry.
Damn, I need to know where he buys his body oilAlso, not to defend The Honeymooners trope of big guy + attractive wife but its not like Faveau is an ugly dude. They have like a 12-13 year old kid in the movie so it makes sense that dude could have developed a dad bod over the course of their marriage due to having a stressful job where you're constantly eating.
oh boy, if the ending is somehow worse than the beginning then maybe i should power through.
Count me on #TeamHate.
The big thing that gets me is how it just doesn't go anywhere. I dig the premise: star chef is bored, wants to go back to his edgy bad-boy roots, sure. But this guy who was so played up as being full of wild originality in the opening's big play is... a food truck making traditional Cuban sandwiches. Like... how is making the same Cuban every day different from making the same caviar egg every day?
I've enjoyed stuff like Food Wars and Yakitate Japan because there's always an element of creation, but it felt like that was just missing in Chef.
This is itMaybe you just have bad taste in movies, and prefer all movies to be marred in misery and reality.
Not a movie but Orville is an obvious vanity project, that kinda of works despite him
And make out with Charlize Theron and Adrianne Palicki.Another tangential example is The Orville; the higly produced Seth Mcfarlane Star Trek fan fiction where he is the captain and gets to hang out with ex-Star Trek cast members.
I read the summary of what happens after I stopped watching. Yeah, Jon Favreau might as well have sucked his own dick for two hours on screen.
I absolutely love Chef. I rewatch it every few months. As someone who likes to cook, it's just a really enjoyable movie to me.
I think I'm finally going to try making Spaghetti Aglio e Olio tonight!
i have seen several, actually. barbra is fabulous. i just don't think any of her notable movies count as "recent."
