Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

rochesternypizzaguy About halfway through the movie, I could see how it was going to end. But that didn't spoil it, thanks to the well-written situational comedy and good performances. It also occurred to me that as good as this was, it could not effectively be remade in the U.S. The stereotypical French obsession with food lies at the heart of this film, but it translated well. Make a batch of crepes, or get a couple of baguettes and a bottle of vin rouge, and enjoy.

funambuline I love movies about food and gastronomy. This one is perhaps the worst I have ever seen.The script is absolutely stupid and totally not realistic, the dialogues are really bad, the "cuisine" depicted in the movie is a kind of generic "french cuisine" that doesn't exist. During each sequence filmed in a kitchen or with people eating or tasting food there are huge mistakes that anyone who knows how to cook an egg can spot.For the rest: no visual interest, bad actors, bad editing, nothing to save this story.If you want to see a nice french food movie, better see "la Cuisine Américaine"... (which is kind of the original story anyway, but a way better movie), or "Haute Cuisine". Or any of the more than 100 movies in my public list "food movies" will do instead of this one.

Guy THE CHEF continues the French tradition of romanticising the production of food to the nth degree, but with jokes. The plot sees a wannabe chef - who keeps getting fired because people only want chips - get hired by the celeb chef he idolises in order to win around some food critics who hate his traditionalist food because if he loses a star the CEO can fire the celeb chef and replace him with an English (of course) chef who does...molecular cooking (yuck). Unfortunately the lead's pregnant gal wants him to get a proper job outside cooking, whilst the celeb's daughter wishes he would pay more attention to her upcoming thesis defence than his kitchens. It doesn't take a genius to work out what happens next but the result is funny enough (and the film at eighty minutes pithy enough) to sustain the result. The highlight sees the the two chefs try to infiltrate a rival chef's restaurant by posing as a Japanese couple in kimonos...

mformoviesandmore It is a story about events related to a chef, his work, his kitchen and a young associate. There are the usual sorts of back stories, but nothing elaborate.In fact, "nothing elaborate" is probably a good way to describe this movie.There are few aspects that had me actually laughing - mostly the scene with the 'Japanese' customers. The rest raised a few smiles along the way. It was a pleasant passing of time. The best part of the movie was the appearance of an actress named Rebecca Miquel as Carole. Stunning.If you want to laugh at events in the kitchen you would be much better off watch the TV series Whites.
