"Ah, it's a musical" I realised after the umpteenth song brought the story no further forward. This was evident from the beginning, when we see Favreau cooking all night, a scene that would have bored non-foodies - I would have liked some voiceover there, a monologue, but this happens too often. Plot is also silly - why does he cook that great meal, and not invite the food critic over to taste it? Waste of scene. Utterly predictable too.
Robert Downey Jr steals film in short role as investor. John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale (Blue Jasmine), Scarlett Johansson, Emjay Anthony, Dustin Hoffman, Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Oliver Platt.
It is, in fact, half-baked.
