A fiver!!!
It is has been a long time coming but today's film is a 5 out of Netflix5!
And I don't think that you really have to like or even appreciate cooking. You will like and appreciate after this film.
But that is not what it is about. It is about people. Working people. Who have a rough time of it and still strive for excellence.
That said, none of this came to mind watching it. It is so fun. Fascinating. The people are very good.
Jon Favreau, Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony and Robert Downey Jr..
Favreau wrote and directed. Auteur. It never stops being wonderful. And when the action flags, they throw something onto the grill or the stove or stick another thing into the oven.
I so enjoyed this film. Words cannot express the total fun of it.
The NYT review is kind of nasty but that should dim your interest. Fuck'em. I bet they never lifted a hot pan in their life.
I will give it a 5 out of Netflix5.
