I guess Jon Favreau really loves food and cooking and wanted you to know this, by making a movie called Chef that’s basically about food and cooking, and the result is pretty lukewarm – SEND IT BACK TO THE KITCHEN!!!  Favry recruited a fun bunch to join him – Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Sofía Vergara, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris and John Leguizamo – but they have little to work with, other then being overly enthusiastic, in a movie that oozes more cheese than all the cheesteaks of the greater Philadelphia area.  There’s too much time dedicated to (showing us how Twitter works +) Chef Favry trying to bond with his onscreen kid Emjay Anthony, who has about as much acting chops as this movie has lamb chops – zero.  Look, I’m happy Favry is taking a break from big budget fiasco flicks, and going small, but this movie is tiny – a tiny bit entertaining, and a ton bit schmaltzy

Only bit I really really really liked was Oliver Platt playing a food critic, which is not much of a stretch since his brother Adam is the main food critic for New York mag.  The role wasn’t good at all, but I just like that he’s playing a role his brother does for a living

Love And Other Drugs
Parkinson’s & Ride
Official Website | Trailers & Mo

Edward Zwick can’t figure out if he wants his Love & Other Drugs to be a cheesy love story, an insider look at pushing prescription drugs, or a caring tale about living with Parkinson’s Disease.  You can’t have all 3 and make it work, and so it doesn’t, but at least we get to see plenty of Anne Hathaway‘s chest (somewhere the very un-Talented Mr Roto is buying stock in Kleenex and Jergens!!!) + Jake Gyllenhaal will always get a pass in our books for being a boy scout with honor in Zodiac.  As for Oliver Platt, he’s quite the go to annoying, chauvinist pig guy to cast in a role that requires it, no?  Good for him, even if his solid performances are always cringe-worthy.  But what about Josh Gad, who’s basically a younger model of Platt & his roles? First off, who the f#%k is this kid, and secondoff, why does he keep getting cast in movies?  We almost never wanna see a movie that he’s in ever again, solely cause that would mean we’d have to see him again.  Kid doesn’t deserve any love, and we’d need many other drugs if we have to bare with him againnnnnn
