“Pastarioni” is the latest food-focused comedy by Iranian director Soheil Movaffagh, after “Chocolate”. The movie has a cameo by food critic and internet celebrity Hamid Sepidnam, known as Mr. Taster.
When the father of failed Western-style restaurant owner Ramin (Sam Derakhshani) passes away, he is forced to bring his son Hooshan (Mohammad Shakeri) home to Tehran. There, with the help of Ramin’s aunt (Gohar Khanum) and a few other friends, the boy manages to create the best restaurants for regional food in Iran. Of course, this angers the competition until things escalate to a war.
At it’s core, “Pastarioni” is a feel-good comedy about food and the importance of friendship and family. Or at least it tries to be. Whether it succeeds or not is difficult to say and very much based on the preferences of the viewers. If they are into jokes that involve one dimensional ultra villains,...
