The story, although emotional, is not your typical weepy movie with violins playing in background. The writers' dexterous intelligence was able to bring in the humor and keep the viewers engaged to the movie. The dialogues did have combination of wit, light sarcasm and subtle inspiration.
The movie very cleverly utilizes the cinematography to present profiles of each character and gets you to believe that you are already acquainted. It illustrates the actuality of struggles of a top-notch chef, maintaining relationships, pulling out of bad habits, believing in yourself and passion. It beautifully highlights that life is all about second chances. And if you are a food lover, then you will most definitely love the array of mouth watering meals. However, the movie did lack a little bit of drama around his past that would have created a deeper impression.
In summary, the film was able to highlight the main characteristics such as the struggles and passion, as well as human emotions. But for an emotional story, it lacked a little bit of drama.
