Carl Casper loses his job during a public dispute with a food critic. Carl, unable to find another cooking job, decides to open a food truck with the assistance of his ex-wife. Opening this food truck allows him to reunite with his family and rediscover his love of cooking.
This film was directed and written by Jon Favreau. This film was definitely made for food enthusiasts. The food featured in the film is just as important as the story itself. So, prepare to watch yummy food and get hungry. Fortunately most of the food and cooking shown is believable. The plot itself is predictable, but it is also very humorous and sincere. There is a lot of believability to the story even if it is slightly over the top. The film's plot starts very rich, but it slowly drifts away. It would have been great to see more of the father son bonding experience. There is a lot of adult language and some adult humor. So, even though this could be a family film it might not be suitable to all families. This film is unique in that it has a lot of big name actors in secondary character roles. These actors do get to make a presence on screen, but they do not fully outshine the leading character. Jon Favreau played the role of Carl Casper. He was great at doing everything for this film. He managed to create a serious chef with heart and humor. Emjay Anthony played the role of Percy. He was great supporting Favreau. Their on screen chemistry made the film worth the watch. John Leguizamo played the role of Martin. He gave the film its comedy in great ways.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great film for food lovers and families.
