    A gem of a movie... thank you Favreau (writer, director, producer) for taking your millions (and considerable Hollywood influence) to make this little movie. I admit though that I am a sucker for ANY movie that is not a comic-book/animation movie. When was the last time you saw a father/son relationship like this portrayed in the movies? As for all the whining about the 'too short" cameos be famous actors: Downey, Hoffman, Vergara, even Russell Peters... each vignette is a memorable performance you will not soon forget. Just watching someone lovingly express their creativity through food was worth the price of admission. Go see this movie!!!

    Most boring movie I've seen in years, folks. I understand it's 50/50, at best, of leaving a cinema feeling good about time and money spent, but I actually walked out of this one with 15 minutes to go. It was THAT bad. The audience chuckled twice. It's basically a Twitter advertisement on re-run. It is NOT funny. You've been warned.

    Finally, a real movie that is funny but takes no cheap shortcuts. Great writing and acting, very original subject matter. Also a real lesson in Social Media. See it, tell your friends!

    I was a little disappointed because I went to see Oliver Platt steal the show as usual. He's a Windsor Ontario guy and we barely saw him in the movie. He's a huge six foot something fellow. It seemed they used these big names just to get us in the theater.

    Well written, directed, acted - Everything about it kept you wanting to see more. I wish that there were more movies out like this... SUBSTANCE... ohhhh, dammmnnn, that's the special ingredient. Well done Favreau and Cast.

    Nice story and we really enjoyed it. You will leave hungry or at minimum, thinking about buying a grill or a food truck.
