Lemme guess he used to be great but 'threw it all away'. He's on a mission of personal redemption. Every one love hates him. He falls in love with his chief competition who of course hates him and adores him. He's substituted drugs and booze for being a colossal a-hole user of people because he's just that talented. He IS the most interesting man in the world. Before him no one ate food. Other than that this is movie where you hear Bradley speak pretty French where you watch people make and eat pretty good food and there's a lot and I mean a lot of histrionics.

The only good thing about this movie is the theme. I love cooking, and I'm a foodie, so obviously the theme appealed to me. Unfortunately, this movie is predictable and shallow. Shame. I won't bother listing all the flaws. If you've seen it then you know what I mean.I also just want to say: why in the hell would she kiss him after he grabbed her shirt and screamed in her face? For me, that would be the nail in the coffin on any possibility of a relationship. In fact, I found his behaviour throughout the whole movie to be completely over-the-top.

A must see for those interested in the inner workings of a restaurant kitchen and the world of high end chefs. Most people have no clue what it is like to be at the top of the restaurant world or how difficult it is to be in this type of a service profession. The intense pressure they put on themselves to be "perfect". Is the movie a bit disjointed along the way, yes but the acting is stellar and its worth it just to see the food prep and get the overwhelming inside experience. Bradley Cooper is fantastic! Very good supporting actors. Many of them are unknowns. The kitchen scenes are the best. Watching the process and the artistry is a unique peek behind the kitchen doors. Go see this one!!
