Favreau is a good actor and a good director
I notice a lot of people knocking him but then it's well known that the vast majority of posters on the IMDB are morons who can barely string a sentence together.
Just watched The Big Empty, excellent movie and Favreau was great in the lead role. Followed that up by Cowboys and Aliens and while it was certainly no classic it was entertainingly directed by Mr Favreau.
I like what I see of this guy. Good luck with your future projects, Jon!
