Boring, unfunny and very overrated


The movie just doesn't take you anywhere at all. Paris is a city with so many amazing sights, pity the movie is stuck in a tight kitchen the whole time. It gives off the impression it needs major fleshing out, like it's an animation prototype or something. There's just nothing to it. The only character that caught my eye was the food critic, the rest are too realistic. I can't think of a single time I was close to laughing. A pleasant movie to watch, but after seeing what Pixar can do, I was disappointed. It just seems like a film can do well simply because it's made by someone who's produced masterpieces, not because of its actual experience.

I just found this comment and I totally agree with all of it.

Aren't we lucky that people have different tastes? This is both my wife's and my own favourite Pixar film. And the only one that we watched about five times over the years, which is a treatment reserved for very few favourite movies. I'd say it's totally un-boring and very funny. And I don't care whether it's over- or underrated once I have come to that conclusion.

Agreed. I *HATE* this movie, and I love Pixar. Even Cars 2 (which was pretty bad) was better than this.

THis is the only Pixar film I truly hated.

Me too, Capt Cupcake, and I LOVE cooking and Pixar!

I was so excited for this movie to hit theatres and I dragged my SO to see it the day after it came out. I couldn't believe how disappointed I was.

Linguini was just too whiny and annoying for me - I just wanted him to go away, and I thought the supporting story, Skinner wanting to make a junky frozen food empire, was forced. I just did not like it as much as "Cars", "The Incredibles", "The Iron Giant", "Toy Story", "Up"... there are so many better Bird/Pixar films.

Just watched it again for the 10th time on Thanksgiving Day. I love this film because of its heart. Plus I'm a big Patton Oswald fan as well so I'm biased in my opinion.

Just (finally) saw the movie. Critics you're so full of it !
