Jacky Bonnot, liefhebber van gastronomie en zeer getalenteerd, droomt van een succesvol en groot restaurant. Helaas heeft hij door zijn financiële situatie nooit een koksopleiding kunnen betalen. Dan ontmoet hij Alexandre Vauclair, grote chef-kok wiens comfortabele positie wordt bedreigd door de aandeelhouders van de restaurants. (Lumière Publishing)

The French version of Steve Martin lives out his culinary ambitions and, although you will like this warm comedy, in the end it leaves no special aftertaste that would make you watch it regularly. And since the three stars are Lagarde’s dream, I don’t have the heart not to give them to him... And also because Ratatouille did the same better and more gracefully.

Old-fashioned easy fare that looks like it's been waiting thirty years in a drawer somewhere. It doesn't rely on surprise or originality, but the feel-good sensation of gastronomic super-experiences makes up for everything. Michaël Youn and Jean Reno were clearly made for each other.

So it's official, I like movies about food and cooking. There's also the hope that Jean Reno will play something cool, which fortunately happened here. I enjoyed the movie, had a good laugh, and I've been convinced that I might try molecular gastronomy sometime, but it definitely won't be a lifelong love affair like with classic cuisine.
