Best two reviews:
1) HitFix - The film is loose and genuine and makes great use of place. (Rating: 91) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
7) Slant Magazine - Jon Favreau's film comes off as flippant in its view of independent labor as a universally liberating experience for an artist and businessman. (Rating: 38) Read Full Review >
8) The Playlist - While the more down-to-earth Chef does offer some fascinating autobiographical dimensions, the film is also an overlong, unfunny, largely insufferable bore. (Rating: 16) Read Full Review >
This is such a great movie! Perfect for everyone - I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Plus, it will make you get hungry for very well made food.
