Great movie; saw this in the beginning of the summer and haven't returned to the theaters since. Poor summer for movie goers imo.

Obviously, a PRESS RELEASE of some sort was generated (at some point) announcing the August 19 DVD & Blu-ray release date for 'Chef'. I say obviously because that information is in news articles here:

https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=14463

and here:

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...r-bluray/16468

But now some sites are showing "sometime in September" and Amazon has dropped the date altogether.

I'm VERY bummed because I was VERY much looking forward to sharing this wonderful movie in the Booth Bijou Garage Theater. We planned to pair it with 'Ratatouille' and had already announced the date for the movie night.

It looks like August 19 might be dead in the water and I'm

Unless its because of production problems, companies shouldn't be allowed to change a date after its released.

Why not?

By the way, Future Shop Canada shows 09/16/2014, though I think another distributor handles it up north.

As many others said. A great little film.

tkdkid717 · 07-29-2014, 11:47 AM

It's up on amazon. New date is September 30th.

MEB · 07-29-2014, 03:55 PM

Damn it! Now Blu-ray.com is also showing September 30 for the release date.

I thought it was pretty fast as well , but sad to see it go into september.

Maybe it's doing better in theaters?

Brent L. · 07-29-2014, 04:00 PM

I saw this a while back, a month or two ago? I forget exactly. I thought it was a wonderful little film, something straight out of an age of film decades ago. No convoluted twists, nothing insane or wacky, just a nice little story with a sweet feel throughout. I don't want to watch a movie like that every single time I go to cinema, but it was certainly a nice change of pace.

My only chance of seeing this was at tribeca film festival in April, but I left the day of the premiere. So I'll definitely be picking this up

The banner on this artwork hints at a possible slipcover with the movie, hoping it has one. I really liked the movie for what it was, John leguizamo was awesome

I just finished watching this film and I love it. Definitely will look into purchasing it this year.

That Canadian artwork is hilarious.

I like how they added ScarJo and RDJ into the kitchen. When they're never in it.

MLabrosc02 · 09-09-2014, 04:39 AM

Saw this today...amazing movie!! Hopefully it comes with a slipcover

quickdraw · 09-09-2014, 03:15 PM

Heard Favreau talk about this film on Dennis Miller's radio show a while back and it sounds like he really had a great time doing an indie film again. Miller only gave him a small segment to plug the movie, but hearing Favreau describe the process was priceless and only wished he could have gone into more detail. This is on my list of upcoming BDs I'll be purchasing.

Adrock · 09-24-2014, 07:15 PM

Watched this film last night. It was excellent! Both my wife and I really enjoyed it. Definitely worthy of a pick up. I think it may end up being one of my feel good films of the year.
