This is definitely a food porn movie - you'll want one of those Cuban sandwiches afterwards! Entertaining guest spots from Robert Downer Jr, Dustin Hoffman and Scarlett Johanssen (it's good to have famous movie star pals) and a good witty script only let down by a too pat ending and an over abundance of a Twitter plugs.
Not enough laughs to be an out and out comedy, not gritty or realistic enough to be a drama. Nevertheless, enjoyable if a bit of a vanity project.
