As you can tell from this entry's title, I fell head-over-heels in love with this Jon Favreau film. I'm not alone in liking it--check out
what Rottentomatoes says about it--but I am probably unusual in the degree of my enthusiasm for it. The movie simply hit me perfectly. Though I knew within five minutes exactly how the plot would go, I didn't care; I loved the ride. The construction was flawless, the restaurant bits spot-on, and the sentimentality just right, at least for me.
I also left the theater ravenous for a Cubano sandwich.
At the film's end--do stay for all the credits--a good third of the audience clapped. I was among them.
I don't want to tell you more about this one, because you should get to enjoy every moment of it without any spoilers.
Go see
Chef if you possibly can.
