  Accessible, watchable, but could be better.
  
  It's a film that's not vastly thought provoking, it's watchable in a predictable sort of way. Very cartoon like characters, like a Spanish Ugly ... read more »

  Amusing but sweet
  
  Great Spanish movie dealing with a serious issue in a great comic style, sometimes a little flowery but overall a pretty decent film. Well worth watching....!

  Too much shouting!
  
  Maybe that is what is expected when you work in a kitchen? This film was slow and hard to watch as it just seemed a bit... lost?!

  A bit mental
  
  Slightly deranged- Chef is a bit mental- but the film was generally quite good fun. A bit wishy washy at times. Quite enjoyable though.
