Film No. 31 (2014) April 30th. 7:00 PM GREATER UNION Innaloo.
Jon Favreau is a multi talented film artist. He writes, he acts, he directs, he produces and while his career has taken a commercial path recently he leaves his unique mark on all his projects. That mark often comes in the form of a scene rich with dialogue we didn't see coming.
Chef is not a great film. It is an enjoyable, entertaining, heartwarming flick with plenty of those rich scenes which may give it some cult following in the future. It it is a film so easily recommended to so many people for so many different reasons.
Carl Casper (Favreau) is burnt out and battling creatively, emotionally and financially. His greatest asset is the charismatic effect he has on people. He takes a break from life, as he knew it, by acting as a carer for his son Percy (Emjay Anthony)on a trip to Miami with his ex-wife Inez (Sofia Vergara). It is then that the real adventure takes place as Casper invests in a food van and proceeds to cook, babysit and tweet as he drives back to California.
Go see this film for the food on display. See it for the scenes with Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jnr; they provide that richness I described earlier. See it to enjoy the fun a dad might have with his son. The film is as fresh as the ingredients on display in so many of the scenes. 10GUMS
