Review of Burnt

Burnt (I) (2015)
3/10
Bland
30 December 2015
This movie was pretty pointless. It was more about dressing up Bradley Cooper as a Chef and hoping for the best. The story was bland and even the cookery was outdated. A dish that should not have been served.

I just don't understand how studios can invest so much time and money into a movie and then produce such an uninteresting and meaningless film. Do they not watch it and realize how bad it is? I can only guess that some executive thought that pairing Cooper with the hot trend in cooking and cooking shows would be an instant hit. Well, you can pair the most expensive wine with Burger King and there's a high probability that you won't enjoy the meal.

The movie overall was shot well and the acting was fine. It just went nowhere in the end. Sure, many viewers will just enjoy watching Cooper in a Chef's coat and without, but if you're expecting anything more than that cancel your reservation for this one.
