So schmeckt das Leben
Carl Casper und seine Hilfsköche Martin und Tony stehen für ihr Leben gern vor dampfenden Töpfen und brutzelnden Pfannen. Doch leider hält Carls Boss Riva nichts von ihren ambitionierten Gerichten und zwingt sie, ein ideenloses Menü zuzubereiten. Mit den darauf folgenden negativen Restaurantkritiken kann Carl aber nicht umgehen und schmeißt den Job hin. Mit der seelischen Unterstützung seiner Freundin Molly, die sich nicht nur nach seinen Gerichten verzehrt, sucht sich Carl nun also ein anderes Unternehmen, in dem er sich kulinarisch frei entfalten kann. So bekommt er von Marvin einen alten Imbisswagen zur Verfügung gestellt und verwandelt diesen in die feinste fahrende Küche der Stadt.

The chemistry between Favreau, Leguizamo and Emjay Anthony is amazing; just so natural. It's the best thing Leguizamo, who I generally run hot and cold on, has done in a very long time. Perfect casting of a fantastic film. Crank up the wonderful soundtrack, get in the kitchen and cook something!
I totally did not expect this movie to be so awesome. As an added bonus it has a great soundtrack! You should not watch it on an empty stomach though :)
Let me tell you a story. It is a love story actually. There were two lovers: Apple and Twitter, and they loved each other so much that they made a movie for everyone to see how great they are. And how well they fit together... No, but seriously, this 100 minute twitter advertisement is just terrible. This is a movie about a talented chef, who is a real a**hole as a father. He gets upset about a review written about him. Also, his (another a**hole) boss (you can't get a decent ad without hiring a big star like Dustin Hoffman) that doesn't let him be artistic with the food. So he goes indie and starts his own "food truck". There are some good lines here and there but nothing special with the script. Overall, the acting, the writing and the directing are very generic. I really hate being like the critic in the movie, but this movie was done to promote stuff and make you feel good about it, it wasn't art or even a decent flick. I stopped watching it after 50 minutes. If you can watch something else, better do it. This is my humble opinion, sorry if there were mistakes, English isn't my primary language.
One of my favourite films of the last decade. It's not perfect but it's got so much charm and heart to it that I absolutely love it! The cast have great chemistry, with several putting in performances that are super memorable. And anything with Oliver Platt in it gets a bump in rating. The food is beautiful and the music is sensational. The small drawbacks - casting Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson as love interests is a stretch in credibility (well I would if I could too right?), the first 50 mins over stays its welcome by a few mins before the second half goes supernova. The criticism I see for Twitter etc. I can't gel with that. The social media and the son is one of the best parts of the film. Find me a film with as touching a story as this because we all need a little 'pick me up' like this in our lives. 9/10
Sure the movie was filled with Cliches about a father and a distant son. But the atmosphere of the movie was like a party! Crank the music up, start cooking in the kitchen, and just relax with a cold one. That’s how this movie is meant to be enjoyed.
