02.14.15Netflix Showed this to Molly. She liked it, I liked it. This is definitely a feel good movie for me. Great food, great music, everyone looks like they're having fun. Favreau, Leguizamo and Cannavale seem like dudes that are fun to hang out with... Again the supporting cast is incredible. Really good time.
09.30.14Internet I am going through a bit of Fantastic Fest withdrawal so I got an impulse to see this right away. I'll probably pick up the blu at some point because I liked it. I love that Favreau made this small movie again after his VFX-heavy recent history. It's a throwback of sorts to Swingers and Made but with a shitload of accrued favors at his disposal. Sure there's not exactly a ton of conflict but you know... sometimes you want a movie that will make you feel good and want to eat good food. This is kind of like Big Night without all that fuss about the critic never showing up and the restaurant closing.

Stellar cast, wonderful location photography, everybody seems like they're having a good time... It will undoubtedly be dated in a few years after twitter and vine have gone away and the food truck craze dies down, but cie la vie (or however you spell it). This was lots of fun.
