I like jon favreau's work, and this is a real about turn from his previous films. I like it, it was entertaining, well acted although it did have a few slightly cringe worthy moments.... These may have been purposeful... All the actors are amazing, I have no doubt a stunt double was used for the dicing scenes as id be shocked if favreau had the years of experience with a knife to pull that off... none the less, he evidently put great time and planning into this film as his labour of love. The Actors of course are without question brilliant. As always, Downey JR was sheer wonder to watch, i cant help but wonder if he is simply being himself!!!! Scarlett, well..... All her writhing around prior to being served pasta was acting genius... completely convincing and perfectly executed.... she also is a master of her craft.... whomever is with her in real life is a lucky man! Vegara was without doubt perfect for the role, hysterical, and entertaining. I loved the scenery and camera work as only a Director of this calibre can achieve. Im not sure if this is an indie film, but it certainly isn't a traditional Hollywood one I know that.

We walked out being happy to have seen it, my girlfriend even said she wanted to go straight home and cook something.... that might be cheesy, but its the sign of a story that had an influence.... cant say that about a lot of films these days.... PS. Emjay Anthony was brilliant to watch, he has a big future ahead of him.
