This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

A group of dysfunctional chefs working at a high scale restaurant.Only 14 episodes, and FOX canceled this show in lieu of baseball season. This is the best comedy of all time (Modern Family is still in contention). It's number one because I rarely see it on any number one list, and it deserves the attention. It's well written, well produced, and has great actors. If you love Scrubs type of humor, you will love this show.It has a great cast and cast relationship. It has something for everyone of EVERY type of humor. AHH!! FOX I'm so POed at you.I love this show. It has something for everyone and it's just such a complete humor. It's based on Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential.

I rented it from Netflix because of John Francis Daly (I loved Freaks & Greeks) and I was amazingly surprised by how much I liked the show and spent the first several episodes laughing and wondering how I missed it when it was on T.V. Every episode on the first disc of the DVD set just got funnier and funnier. Bradley Cooper's character is so different from the character he played on Alias, it was refreshing. John Francis Daly is all grown up from his Freaks & Geeks days but is still able to nail the comic timing with the delivery of his lines.Although, Nicholas Brendan has gained some weight since his Xander days on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, he is even funnier as the peacemaking pastry chef of the chic New York Nolita restaurant. The whole show is apparently based on a book...that I will now have to read.

I like the actor they chose to play Bourdain, really I do, but Anthony Bourdain he is not. And that is what is wrong with this series. I read the book and was really excited to rent the series, but I should have known better. Someone in TV land decided that Anthony Bourdain is too abrasive, in your face and rude, so the show "softens" Tony and loses all the spirit. Yes, the real Anthony Bourdain is in your face and abrasive and is very much about How Things Really Are. That is the spirit in which Kitchen Confidential (the book) was written. So honest, in fact, that when she gets OLDER, I am going to make my 12-year-old aspiring Chef read it before she decides in fact to spend oodles of money on Culinary school. It is that very in your face honestt that is missing. Tony is nothing more than an alcoholic, excuse me, reformed-alcoholic boy scout. Yawn. Meanwhile the _real_ Anthony Bourdain has a hit show on the Travel Network doing what he does best, telling it like it is.

A couple of months back i left work to pursue a different career. I wasn't working for a couple of weeks because i didn't know what to do. I then adapted to my new life on the couch and the TV was my new best friend, because i had no job. I then came across a very interesting show (Kitchen Confidential) i thought it was just another cooking show. (I'm sooooooo over them) But this show was different, Kitchen Confidential inspired me to get back into cooking and now i'm working in one of Melbourne's finest restaurant. I have specifically asked for Fridays off so i am able to enjoy the life story of Jack Bourdain and his team at Nolita. I just want to thank the show, because if it wasn't for it i still would of been glued on the couch lying in front of the TV, instead i'm back out there enjoying the life of a chef. maybe one day i might even be a good as Jack, not only in cooking but with the ladies!!
