It actually took me until the very end of the movie to realize that El Jefe means Chef and I don’t know how I feel about myself now. Image via LA Weekly
The uplifting Chef marks the return of Jon Favreau. Well, he never really went anywhere, but when you direct something like Cowboys & Aliens, you seem like the shell of a director for at least a little while. While Chef isn’t a consistently good meal, it is easily digestible. Sorry, I needed just one food metaphor in here. For the non-foodie out there: Chef is not perfect, but it is enjoyable to watch from start to finish.
