Good concept, poorly executed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Worse than a reality TV show. Only got through first course.

Excellent acting. Excellent pace. Beautiful, energetic kitchen scenes. A few touching scenes here and there. Like cooking itself, this movie is about many things - love, passion, friendship, jealousy. When it was done I realized the plot had been somewhat predictable, but it's tastefully done, and you don't notice it until after the end, immersed as you are in the story. If you like cooking, or food, or French, or London, you'll likely enjoy this movie. Me? I loved it.

Its a well known plot device that we are presented with difficult and troubled characters who act like a-holes and we're supposed to infer they are actually deep and worthy of our sympathy. Of course, the two main jerks in this film are destined to fall in love and learn a life lesson in the process, voila! But in this case, the two main stars Sienna Miller and Bradley Cooper don't seem worth of much sympathy at all. Herein, the movie fails.Sienna Miller's character is raising a young daughter alone, but this doesn't seem like a good enough reason for her bitchiness. Bradley Cooper is a recovering drug addict who stabbed everybody in the back in the past and seeks a new start now that he is in recovery. Obviously, people are suspicious of him and cautious as he plays the diva chef to the hilt when Daniel Bruhl's character gives him a chance as head chef in a new restaurant in London. Its hard to describe the repulsiveness of Cooper's character and why anybody puts up with him. He and Sienna's character "bond" over trying out new recipes, but even that doesn't seem to give humility to Cooper. Didn't he learn anything from shucking 1 million oysters in a New Orleans dive bar as penance for his character flaws? Frankly, even his food looks puny and un-appetizing and we're supposed to believe its haute cuisine and the work of a master!Things happen that aren't very interesting and in the end Cooper wins a Michelin star (or two or three, I don't remember) and all is well and he has learned his lesson and everybody's happy! Forget that he tortured everybody with his tantrums during the whole process. Funny thing is, the audience was never rooting for Cooper in the first place. If you want to see a terrific chef movie, see "Big Night" with Tony Shaloub and Stanley Tucci. Burnt doesn't hold a candle to his terrific film about what being a chef and owning a restaurant is really like.

Iam an admirer of Bradley cooper and watched the movie due to his presence. All the characters are well placed and not wasted. It was good seeing Uma Thurman. Sienna Miller and cooper had a good chemistry going on between them throughout the film. Bradley cooper plays an ambitious chef who lost his way early due to drugs. Cooper handled french convincingly enough. The movie is not circled around a big story but a very well paced feel good one. It is the tale of every failed individual who makes a comeback to achieve the glory.
