Yes, I clearly enjoyed it more than last time, though it's true there are two too many montages of cooking to music, and that plot hinge where he doesn't share the cooking he's just done with the critic is just silly (and annoying). Favreau has gone for something straight-forward and audience pleasing (nothing wrong with that), and the film is most successful in the latter scenes, where the food van takes to the road with Favreau's son Emjay Anthony and chef John Leguizamo (Kick Ass 2, The Lincoln Lawyer). I have to say though, the final scene should have shown the boy at work in the kitchen, not just passing a tray of what looks like bacon through a hatch. Also Scarlett's character simply disappears.
Favreau has attracted a good cast of Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman (billed in this order), Sofia Vergara, Oliver Platt, Robert Downey Jr.
