The movie attempts to mock the hollowness underneath upper-class fine dining, and audiences get that but it's the pretentious and hollow story that bothers some.

They twisted the story wrongly at the very end.

Even though the underlying message is great, and the acting is good, there happens to be too many appalling plot holes in this story. I really couldn't grab the reason for the menus, nor the backstory of the characters. It is so pallid that to see others giving it a 5-star rating almost feels more of a mystery to me!

Ralph is a great actor, only a handful of them still remain, but casting him into similar roles, film after film makes it so monotonous, to the extent that one had to blame the story writers and screenplay for not putting adequate effort for bringing more intrigue, more depth, more history to the characters, and above all, a better ending.

You see when she asked for a mundane cheeseburger, she broke the pretentious balloon. But it should not urge the writer to slash the Masterchef along with his creation and the innocent chefs and helpers, because they had absolutely nothing to do with it. They merely followed their chef, and the chef is not a militia! Is that the reward he's offering, or is it Jonestown, you decide what you saw and voted for! Do not let excitement slide you away.
