Chef – A Three-Year-Too-Late Review

Yesterday, Tuesday 8th August 2017, I watched Chef for the second time – three years after it was released.

Here’s what I thought…

  • John Favreau is a joy
  • John Favreau’s character has cool tattoos
  • John Favreau’s character is called Carl
  • I’m called Carl
  • Scarlett Johansson is in this film
  • Angry Dustin Hoffman is adorable
  • I might buy the soundtrack
  • Name me a poor Oliver Platt performance. GO ON!
  • John Favreau loves food and cooking so much he wrote, directed and starred in a film about food and cooking so that he could learn how to cook food to a 5 star standard. Genius. What would I do that with? Wrestling, probably. Or calligraphy. We’ve been waiting for a good calligraphy film since The Pillow Book in 1996. Haven’t seen it.
  • I think I have hair like John Favreau
  • Scarlett Johansson saying: “Carl, you’ve been miserable ever since I’ve known you” weirdly made me a little sad
  • Robert Downey Junior
  • I’ve bought the soundtrack
