Movie #930 "Chef" is a delectable comic stew, with a sizable portion of father/son bonding, a little bit of what it takes to be a chef, a wonderful, toe-tapping musical soundtrack, lots of footage of gorgeous dishes of food, just a smidgen of a sweet love story, some concern shown about our media-defined culture (it even introduces how to use (or how not to abuse) twitter, and a big portion of laugh-out-loud-moments! I loved it (and the two people I was with loved it, too) What a fun watch --- and in this day and age when it is so hard to find a good comedy, well, here it is --- but it's not for little kids (high school and up is fine!) It is truly a feel good film, and I can't remember ever putting that in a blog, but this one is! And It's my favorite movie this year, so far -- and I highly recommend it! Thanks to everyone who suggested I see this gem, and this will be the one picture I probably end up buying to represent this year to me! And I fell in love with this little boy ---- such a screen presence. I hope he isn't tainted by the Hollywood scene!
