This movie could have beem so much more in hands of a capable director. Story has so many holes that you just have to skip lousy parts, and acting is often infantile and simply put bad. Ought to be foodie movie, but it completely misses on oportunity to show cooking techniques during masterchef competition. It does not work on characters and their interaction, oversimplifies cooking parts and lacks rhythm within story narration (for example, to check someone's identity one could simply ask for ID card or passport). If you are a movie and foodie afficionado, don't waste your time on this movie. Rather watch (or re-watch) Masterchef Season 3 with blind chef Christine Ha, or if you haven't yet, watch The Hundred Foot Journey, Eat Drink Man Woman, Babette´s Feast,. Sorry, I really can't recommend this movie. For light-fun movies go with Chef (2014) or german Soul Kitchen which at least has good rock and roll soundtrack.
