crowd, a hot couple travels by yacht to remote Hawthorne Island to eat at an exclusive, farm-to-table restaurant where the chef prepares a lavish menu with surprises that are equal parts hilarious and horrifying. No worries. You’ll laugh till it hurts.
Hoult plays Tyler, a chef groupie who ignores his cool-girl date, Margot , to focus on the food chef has prepared for a select 12 dinner guests. Raves Tyler: “I’ve watched him plate a raw scallop during its last dying contraction of muscle.” Yikes! Too much? Maybe. But the food world deserves the comic skewering it gets, not just the elitist one-percenters who define quality by what they’re charged for it but the celebrity chefs who willingly turn cooking into theater of the absurd.Chef gets unwavering support from his culinary staff, especially Elsa as the right hand who wrangles customers who believe they’re free to leave the island. Ha!
Janet McTeer is caustic perfection as Lillian Bloom, the Saveur food critic who put Chef on the map to the delight of her publisher . And Arturo Castro, Rob Yang and Mark St. Cyr distill everything you hate about finance guys whose culinary taste stopped at S’mores.The great Reed Birney oozes superiority as an aging tycoon who bristles when his wife insists that Margot is a dead ringer for their daughter.
This was such a great movie!
