Review Chef The Movie Opens May 9 Comedy About Food Truck Culture & Relationships

Movies

This is a sponsored post

Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein -- AKA The Moms -- really know how to host a party for influential mom lifestyle bloggers. From the Jessica Alba The Honest Company Honest Life book launch party to the Labor Day movie screening on the Paramount Studios lot, the events these two ladies dream up are always fun, entertaining and informative. Last week's pre-release screening of the feature film Chef, complete with a hangout at the Stouffers Mac Truck near the Santa Monica Pier before hand, was just as engaging.

Indie film Chef has some big names in supporting roles like Sofia Vergara of hit TV series Modern Family fame, along with Robert Downey Jr., Dustin Hoffman and Scarlett Johansson. But in this movie it's a trio of lesser known actors playing the characters with the most lines and screen time: Jon Favreau (also writer and director of Chef), John Leguizamo (Walking With Dinosaurs), and young actor Emjay Anthony who turns 11 this June.

Arriving at the Santa Monica screening room, MommyBlogExpert.com

The storyline unfolds with up and coming Chef Carl Casper (Favreau) walking out of the Los Angeles restaurant into which he has poured his hipster culinary passion and soul after a blow up over creative differences with the eatery's stifling, fuddy duddy, aging boss owner (Hoffman). The chef's professional failure isn't his only problem, he's also the head of a dysfunctional family, divorced with a young son (Anthony) who yearns to bond with his father.

Stouffer's Chef & Me at the Food Truck, MommyBlogExpert.com

The lost and broken-hearted chef Carl then heads to Miami in search of himself and a new career and is soon joined by ex-wife (Vergara) and their son, along with his friend and former L.A. right-hand kitchen assistant (Leguizamo). Soon after Carl and friends transform a broken down roach coach into the El Jefe gourmet food truck. Before you know it, as the truck rolls across the U.S., the four-wheeled restaurant becomes  a smashing success is IRL (in real life) and news about the trendiest place to grab a bite spread like wildfire on Twitter.  Along the way, this chef rediscovers not only a new profession and new life, but a loving relationship with his little boy. Who could imagine a better happy ending than to achieve all that?

Against a backdrop of amazing and delicious food cinematography, there couldn't have been a more eccentric fusion of contemporary California and Miami food mixed up with classic Cuban and Texas BBQ cuisine. 

BBQ Zucchini, MommyBlogExpert.com

But this movie isn't all the great looking and tasting food, it's also about personal and physical transformations. There's the beaten down grown-up man and a banged up and dirty food truck that are totally revamped against all odds. Similarly, this theme of renewal repeats with the rebirth and evolution of Carl's deepening relationship with his son.

Chef star Emjay Anthony is all smiles, MommyBlogExpert.com

Foodies will love this film for all its food shots, cooking tricks and kitchen  scenes. It has its comedic moments, to appreciate, too. But be forewarned. There's a good reason why this is rated R. As a mom, I think there is more foul language in this movie and suggestive sexual references than are really necessary. Still this might be an entertaining date night movie for parents to take their minds off their kids for the evening, as long as you are not easily offended by bountiful swearing.

Best advice I can give you is to make sure you've eaten a good meal ahead of time before you see this. If you go to the theater on an empty stomatch, instead, you are probably not going to be satisfied noshing on just plain old blase movie popcorn, candy and soda.

Chef initially opens in theaters in limited release in Los Angeles and New York May 9th, expanding to 10 more cities next week and additional cities after that across the U.S.

Protect Family Against Summer Burglary With 5 Safety Tips From Los Angeles Police

Safety

Sadly, burglaries in the area where I live are on the rise as temperatures increase. In fact, according to an alert that just arrived in my mailbox from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), there's a serious upward trend of more burglaries taking place in the late afternoon and evening around here. Previously I had thought that thieves almost always break in to private homes by smashing windows and/or forcing entries open. Boy was I surprised to learn otherwise...this advisory says that 40% of these recent house burglaries had open or unlocked doors and windows. 

Family Home White Picket Fence, MommyBlogExpert.com

As my city's police department points out in their memo to homeowners, simply locking all your doors and windows when you leave your home can make a huge difference. But, that's just the beginning to increasing your chances of your family home not turning into another statistic. There's so much more you can do as warmer weather arrives to protect your family and personal property, whether you live in L.A. like I do or anywhere else.

Always lock door even if you are at home, MommyBlogExpert.com

5 LAPD  Tips to Protect Your Home 

1. When you are at home, only leave windows open in the portion of the house that you are in and can monitor. For example, if you go upstairs to take a nap close the downstairs windows. 

2. If someone knocks on your door, answer the door without opening it. Speak loudly through the door so the person on the other side knows you are home. 

3. Install and use an audible alarm system. There are many new alarm systems that are inexpensive and can send real time alerts to your smartphone. Wireless systems allow non-permanent and wireless installation. 

4. Use timers that automatically turn on lights or televisions to make it appear that you are home. 

5. Get to know your neighbors and provide them with a contact phone number to reach you promptly if they see something suspicious around your home. Another good thing you can do is to join or start a neighborhood watch group. 

Remember to close windows when away too, MommyBlogExpert.com
