Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
quelemi Have seen this movie lots of times and during all times I feel the expression on my face.. it jyst najes me smile! Love it!
FeRrJar For a person who is so into food and cooking, this movie really got me hooked... the bast thing is how actors make the interaction look very natural... I loved how yhe lowest point in the movie was the beginning then it goes up from there!!!
sibashritmohanty I felt happy while watching this movie and after I finished watching it. The actors did justice to their characters. Very believable story and performances. The story takes us through a journey that the father-son duo embark on. A journey where their relationship with each other and with the audience matures and strengthens. Frustration, loneliness, love, all surface with deep authenticity. To top this beautiful movie are Sofia Vergara's accent and her smile. There is a guarantee of not getting bored while the family explores the intricacies of relationship through passion for cooking and the search for happiness. Irrespective of how you watch it, through a philosopher's eyes or through the eyes of a laid back engineering student, this movie will treat you delicacies whose taste shall linger for some time after the journey ends with a sweet note. May not be a must watch for anyone, but its definitely a movie that you will not regret watching and there is a fair chance that you will feel extremely content and satisfied.Thank you.
Michael Ledo There is nothing like a fun family film with a family message and a few F-bombs tossed in for the kids.Carl is a chef who gets hammered with an on line review. He gets into a Twitter war with the critic leading to his termination from work. Carl most go from being with Molly (Scarlett Johansson) "will have sex for food" to living off the charity of his still loving ex-wife Inez (Sofía Vergara). I wish I had his bad luck.Carl succumbs to his wife's idea of obtaining a food truck which causes him to bond with his son and other formulaic ideas to the point of nausea. The problem I had with the script and film is that it tried so hard to create a feel good formula film it seemed plastic and fake. The characters and situation never seemed real, which makes this nothing more than a substandard comedy.A mildly entertaining film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
