Favreau directs, writes and stars in this comedy-drama about Carl Casper, a chef who becomes fed up with being held back from his full potential and has an emotional-blowout that's caught on video. Instead of trying to milk the event by staying in the spotlight, Casper instead continues his passion for cooking low-key style by opening a Cubano food truck, which not only allows him the creative outlet he was looking for, but also the necessary bonding time he needs with his family. The soundtrack is fitting and makes for an undeniably excellent playlist on its own, and there are some fun bit roles filled by A-listers. Never a dull moment, but it lingers in the first act too long, and just when things get up and running… there doesn't seem to be a conflict any longer. ??? Don't watch on an empty stomach.
