Roughly a more broadly comic French version of John Favreau’s “Chef,’’ this film stars veteran Jean Reno as a longtime celebrity chef who may lose control of his Paris restaurant because the young new CEO thinks he’s old toque.

Daniel Cohen’s genial French comedy is as airy as a soufflé. Alas, it’s not nearly as satisfying.

Daniel Cohen's Le Chef does little more than illuminate the superficiality of the restaurant business.

A feel good movie for meat lovers. No surprises, no new ground covered but good acting making the most of a limited script. I enjoyed it and not just a little because of the music score.
