I think your question of whether or not the movie is “any good” actually fits perfectly with the movie’s view on food: if you thoroughly enjoyed it, then who cares whether or not it’s considered “good” in terms of fancy analysis? Some movies are “gourmet” and some movies are “just a well-made cheeseburger.” If it gave you a happy experience, then no need to second-guess your taste. 🙂
There's a movie called "Chef" that has a scene where he cooks a simple yet perfect toasted cheese sandwich. The whole cheeseburger making scene reminded me exactly of that scene including where it made me hungry for one even though I'd just eaten.
@areallyawsomename It's not a joke. It's a common phrase in many cultures. Meaning that you ordered or took more food than your appetite can handle. My parents used to say that to me all of the time when I was young to teach me not to put too much food on your plate.
This instantly became one of my favorite movies released in the last few years. I went into it blind, thinking it was gonna be a cannibal type of thing and im so glad they didnt go that route. Great reaction!
I fucking loved The Menu, and I'm one of those snobs who only like one out of every hundred horror movies. Probably my second favorite movie last year, behind Everything Everywhere All At Once.
First thing i technically saw Ralph Fiennes in was in Prince of Egypt as Ramses. He's been consistently great ever since. This movie was hilariously dark. I loved it!!
A delightfully twisted movie. Ralph Fiennes is terrifying and darkly funny as the Chef. I think, with the way the menu was laid out, Slowik was slowly breaking down the guests psychologically like he did with his staff. Pushing them to the point of accepting their deaths without a fight except for Margot. I wonder what happened to Slowik's wife and kid. Did they die? Did they leave him? Did he leave them? 21:04-21:08 Nice one.
More than likely? They probably left him. With him constantly working, he didn't spend any time with them, so she said "fuck it, I'm out and I'm taking the kid with me."
Succession really brought the “black comedy about rich miserable assholes” back in full swing, huh? This film fits nicely in that genre. Darkly hilarious 😆
I thought the cheeseburger part was brilliant. Great reaction. I love that it doesn’t feel like you fake them like how many reactors are starting to do.
I only watched this for the cast and ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected. BTW, I was introduced to Fienes in the Red Dragon as Dollarhyde. It's a remake of the 80s movie Manhunter but also the 3rd movie(I believe)of the Hannibal Lectar movies.
This is probably one of my top movies of the year - The Northman being at the top. It was interesting and fun until the entire end. Loved your reaction, as always!
The "student loans" thing was brilliant and hilarious. Not only because of just the blasé way of saying "I'm sorry, you're dying" but also because he was right. Going to Brown? And not having college loans at all? At her age? She was either born into wealth (and would thus be from the same wealth gap of his normal clientele) OR she did something to absolve her of the debts anyone else not born with a silver spoon or wealthy connections would otherwise be saddled with having gone to a private Ivy League university like Brown (making her yet another "eater" / "taker").
On my second watch I noticed than near the beginning when you can overhear all the conversations at the different tables that she (Brown student) mentioned that her mother had got her a job at Sony and then later we hear her boss admit that he'd written a negative recommendation shows that even with a bad review from her current boss her parents have enough sway to het her a job at a prestigious company anyway.
Saw someone on another video explaining that it was pretty possible to go to Brown and not have debt. I forgot all the details; scholarships and grants are generous, according to the poster.
@@HuntingViolets Yeah, I think it was in 2018 when that started... aka more than likely WELL after she graduated from Brown, especially if we're gonna base it on the actress's actual age (she was born in 1988).
@MasterAndreRaven My understanding of chef's criticism is that all she accomplished with her college degree and privilege, was be a mediocre, and deceitful personal assistant, and therefore did nothing to deserve exemption from being labeled a 'taker'.
I love that you noted that if Tyler wasn't such a horrible person and was just willing to share his passion for food, he'd actually just be endearing. But he's just the worst.
I quite enjoyed the movie. Not loved, but quite enjoyed it. It was kind of satirical that, like many movies, most likely is a metaphor for movie making. I did kind of wish that there was more to the cooking staff beyond them just being cultmembers. I thought the same thing about Elsa attaking Margo/Erin. As for Ralph Fiennes playing a villain...Schindler's List.
Hi Jimmy, Just found your game of thrones reactions. Love them. Unfortunately quite a lot of videos are not available. I've now arrived at season 7 and the following video's are not available: 7x1 7x3 part 1 7x4 part 2 7x6 part 1 7x7 Are they gone forever or is it possible to re-upload them? It's quite a lot of video's to miss for one season. It would be a shame to not get the full experience.
@@JimmyMacram I don’t know. I’m retired now having worked in the service industry my whole life. I kinda think he’d just had enough of terrible people. I know I saw some awful people in my jobs. I relate to Julien and the other cooks.
@@kellifranklin9872 he still killed people who really had no reason to die. Being a bad actor in a bad movie, not having student loans, and being a prostitute who got lied to is no excuse to kill them. Not only that, but he basically started a cult that ended with everyone killing themselves lol With that said, I fuckin love movies and shows (The Bear for example) that show how intense and competitive it is to be a chef. How work becomes your whole life and like Ralph, you become so obsessed that when you finally get to the top, you still have to deal with your “mess” and whatever mess you gained from sacrificing so much. He’s an excellent character and very, very relatable, but undoubtedly the villain.
@@BlackWolfOnFire I thought The Bear was wonderful! I can’t wait for season two. I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. It’s not easy being in the service industry that’s for sure! Lol!
I think this is a good movie. That said, it makes no sense that they would tell Tyler in advance what they planned to do. Why would they trust him not to tell anyone else? And why would they *only* tell him, and none of the other guests? (I mean, the real reason is so they could have the reveal that he knew in advance, and never told Margot. And that scene works well as you watch it. It just is problematic the more you think of the logic of it.)
@WastedPo It makes sense within the logic of the movie. The restaurant knew that Tyler was THAT MUCH of a sycophant, that they were sure that he'd follow whatever they want.
I mean all dying I didn’t care much like they’re not great people . Ahah also who knew a cheeseburger would save her ! But the movie also kinda a cult to me. But I did enjoy it. Also I dated a cook they’re crazy believe me 🤣
I agree that this was a very enjoyable movie. Ralph Fiennes was the main selling point for me... and he did not disappoint (nor does he ever). Anya Taylor-Joy was also very good. But I'm suffering from a bit of Anya overload at this point. She's popping up in every movie or show I watch lately... and she's beginning to play the same "type". She might want to take a hiatus for a little while.

Well put
this is such a good point
Wow..👍
This comment was genius
Damn… Hear, hear.
This is the greatest commercial for a cheeseburger ever made.
It was 1am when I finished this movie and I did immediately order one

“Student loans?”
“No.”
“I’m sorry, you’re dying.”
Literally the “stop, let him cook” meme personified.
Not sure if the joke was intentional or not but I laughed so hard at the end when Anna Taylor Joy said her eyes were bigger than her stomach.

I don't mind the rich bastards getting tortured and killed, I'm just glad our girl made it out with a well made cheeseburger.
Just watched it yesterday, using food as a weapon in psychological warfare is chefs kiss.
"You are why the mystery has been drained from our art"- Filmakers talking to Nostalgia critic, Cinema Sins and HISHE lol
Lmao the student loan thing really got me too 🤣
Fiennes' parts in the Harry Potter movies were some of the best moments. He was truly menacing. Some incredible battles.
Since you say you haven’t seen it, Schindlers List is a movie that everyone needs to watch at least once.
I fucking loved The Menu, and I'm one of those snobs who only like one out of every hundred horror movies. Probably my second favorite movie last year, behind Everything Everywhere All At Once.

I am so in love with this movie…the script…Ray’s acting. So good. Loved your reaction. Great explanation. It was a blast!
Give me some dark humor with some amazing acting and cinematography and I'm happy. This was a great film,.glad you you enjoyed it too
I thought the cheeseburger part was brilliant. Great reaction. I love that it doesn’t feel like you fake them like how many reactors are starting to do.
I literally teared up when he was enjoying himself making the burger. Great acting and perfectly paced direction.
I only watched this for the cast and ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected. BTW, I was introduced to Fienes in the Red Dragon as Dollarhyde. It's a remake of the 80s movie Manhunter but also the 3rd movie(I believe)of the Hannibal Lectar movies.
Manhunter/red dragon is the first introduction to the character in the books. Also Brian Cox as Hannibal is underrated.
Red Dragon is one of my favorite thrillers of all time. Honestly, his performance fucked me up when I was younger!
That pulp fiction edit killed me.
The Sommelier was one of the two guys in those sonic commercials lmao
“Ohhhh Jesus” I’m here for it 😂😂😂
You should check out The Bear
he definitely should!
You think Hannibal and Will would watch this on date night? 😆
I believe this movie is good. Fuck objectivity.
Besides, you like In Bruges, so you have good taste.
Oh, I’d love me some Macram Harry Potter reactions
I loved that Brown line as well & I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
I never heard of this movie until today, watched it earlier, was happy to see Jimmy reacted to it. Was a great time
Oh man I look forward to your eventual Schindler's List reaction when you get to it.
🤣 I totally made that connect to Pulp Fiction. LMFAO

you have 6 hats on the wall you need to peel the stickers off. :)
Schindler's list is a must see, if you want a look at what he can do. Acting masterclass.
Ngl I saw the movie yesterday and had no idea what was going on, but after understanding that it was a comedy, it made more sense. 😂
Rooting for you to get to a 100k
Anyone else wondering why they had that long scene explaining how the bacteria of the beef would kill you if not smoke long enough? Oh wait… 😂
The director debunked that theory.
raph fines is the personification of britich humor right next to john cleese
I love that you noted that if Tyler wasn't such a horrible person and was just willing to share his passion for food, he'd actually just be endearing. But he's just the worst.
Also, at breadless bread plate, I'd be asking to leave and not be charged.
The movie was directed by the same guy who did Succession.
I really enjoyed this film. Was a nice suprise.
I had trouble determining if the movie was good or bad as well. Ralph Finnes was great though.

Favorite movie of last year
Hi Jimmy,

Are they gone forever or is it possible to re-upload them? It's quite a lot of video's to miss for one season. It would be a shame to not get the full experience.
Please react to The Black Phone
My rating for this movie is a Chefs 💋
I think the lady Margot killed was meant to live and Margot took her place.
Is Ralph Feinnes really the villain though?
Yes.

If you enjoyed then it's good. I love it.
I remember not enjoying the lead up to The Mess because so many of the characters were "unlikable" but after The Mess I couldn't look away
yeah, there are flaws in the final act; but, the movie is hilarious and I'm glad you got that it's a comedy (albeit a dark one).
So get on the Harry Potter train!!!!
You're severely missing out.
I mean all dying I didn’t care much like they’re not great people . Ahah also who knew a cheeseburger would save her ! But the movie also kinda a cult to me. But I did enjoy it. Also I dated a cook they’re crazy believe me 🤣
I just realized I had been unknowingly unsubscribed from your channel.
Sorry to hear that brudda. Welcome back.
I agree that this was a very enjoyable movie. Ralph Fiennes was the main selling point for me... and he did not disappoint (nor does he ever). Anya Taylor-Joy was also very good. But I'm suffering from a bit of Anya overload at this point. She's popping up in every movie or show I watch lately... and she's beginning to play the same "type".

What type is that?
