Rated R!
Although in this movie the child is not in the leading role, it has one of the most significant ones in it. You can use it as a reminder, how much children love us and admire us and need us. How much they suffer when we suffer. That they can be our greatest teachers in life. We just have to show them our trust and love.
The movie follows an aspiring and well-known chef, Carl Casper, who strives to impress critics with his food. This aspiration to be the best is a great motivation for him but also comes at a great cost. Because of his crazy work schedule, Carl and his wife suffered a divorce and his son, Percy, suffers the consequences. Percy is a huge fan of his dad, but is neglected by his dad and his busy schedule. Through my evaluation of this movie, the movie wavers back and forth on being okay and not being okay. At some points the movie displays a good, strong dignity towards the human person. However at various points of the movie, especially at the hand of the food critic, the chef’s dignity is destroyed. The movie is inspirational and truth-filled, as you watch the father fight to make his way back up from hitting rock bottom. Through this journey, Carl Casper faces many struggles and also faces his broken relationship with his son. The relationship between the father and son grows stronger as they spend fun, quality time together. Especially in a time where broken families are prevalent, this movie is an inspiration that shows a family’s brokenness being healed. Besides the excessive use of bad language, this movie is inspirational and shows a beautiful journey in fatherhood.
