The Wing or the Thigh?

Charles Duchemin, a well-known gourmet and publisher of a famous restaurant guide, is waging a war against fast food entrepreneur Tri- catel to save the French art of cooking. After having agreed to appear on a talk show to show his skills in naming food and wine by taste, he is confronted with two disasters: his son wants to become a clown rather than a restaurant tester and he, the famous Charles Duchemin, has lost his taste!

Reviews:

  • Silas Butler
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Eloise Archer
    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    Absolutely hilarious! The humor was spot on, and the comedic timing was perfect.

  • Ariella May
    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Kairi Jimenez
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
