Review of Chef

Chef (2017)
1/10
You love a food, read it's recipe, cook it , taste it then realize that reading (watching) and (re) making are different things

I loved director's previous film "Airlift" very much that without being intrigued by trailer I had to watch it. It is official remake of Hollywood 'Chef' and everything is missing here. Original's basic ingredient was emotion and here not a single pinch of it, except in the scene where father cooks stuffed Paratha and takes it to his son, apologies for his short tempered and rude behavior, but still underlines that his words were correct but way was not. Makers have in digested original too much so they took the audience for granted. What translated on screen is, a short tempered chef, his ex wife, son and wife's male friend, I don't know why this character was kept? This male friend offers a typical junk double Decker bus to open restaurant to chef and he modified it up to modern level then you think it was better to purchase a new or at least second hand bus by chef then what was need to insert this old bus track, just to show unnecessary labor union interference and bus cleaning, modifying by chef and his son!? Or just to insert that dead rat throwing scene !? Performance wise every actor is OK but they don't gel with each other and create the chemistry of a family.
