Chef (rated R) is what I call a sleeper movie. A movie you think you will enjoy because it looks good and it ends up being way better than you expected.

I've always liked Jon Favreau as an actor, I remember when I first saw him in Singles. He dominates the screen with his passionate interpretation of Carl Casper, as a has been famous Chef.
