Le Chef

"Le Chef is about as obvious and predictable a French comedy as you could imagine. I loved it. It’s a niche alternative in this country, but it’s not difficult to imagine Le Chef as the French equivalent of mainstream efforts like Transformers or the latest Adam Sandler film. That said, it’s an incredibly entertaining film that hits plenty of high notes, and is rarely less than an absolute pleasure to watch."

"In this froth of a film, everything is a bit larger than life, but it's done with a nice sense of abandon and it's grounded by the performances"

"This is French farce in its most straightforward form, rather than the radical, cutting satire some would wish for."
