Jon Favreau has come up with a beautiful film.The story of a cook trying to regain his image, after a twitter feud with a food critic, has been beautifully integrated with the development of a father-son relationship.
Favreau leads from the front in the acting department as well. He took cooking classes(bits of which can be seen during the end credits)and was very convincing in his role as a chef.Sofia Vergara was also decent. Emjay Anthony,essaying the role of Favreau's son is good. So is John Leguizamo, as his best mate and sous-chef.
Dustin Hoffman, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. were well cast in their respective cameos and did justice to their roles and moreover, to the storyline.
At 109 minutes, it's definitely a must watch.
Watch it for Jon Favreau. He has won a new fan in me , and I'm pretty sure, many more, with his work in this movie. Great Job!!
8/10
