Delicious comedy

Watched this on a long haul airflight and it was pretty good. Entertaining, refreshing story of a young chef at a critical time in his career and his father (a great chef) who was thought dead returned 30 years after absence and can't remember much about his life before disappearing. The movie has very funny moments, just a right dose of light romance and mainly focuses on father and son relationship and being able to work together to create a winning recipe for their family restaurant. The acting is pretty good. I like the low profile, humorous and easy going style rather than many of the Hollywood movies which somehow comes accross rather brash and loud. This movie is suitable watching for most groups and situations.
