Seen the trailer for this quite a few times at the cinema and I must admit it's one I'm looking forward too!
 
Thanks for the info mate i've seen the trailer im very excited for this definitely going cinema.
 
I plan to watch Begin Again soon and see what it's all about - I really hope it's nothing like Chef as some seem to be suggesting, which was basically just one long advert for Twitter.

I regret to inform you that you didn't understand Chef if that's what you took away from it. Food porn at it's best coupled with some nice father son bonding. What's not to like?

But of course, to each their own. :)

Well at least I took away from Chef how to register for Twitter if I didn't know already, as Favreau's son spent 5 minutes telling his dad exactly how to do it. So yeah, it was very annoying, but as you say each their own. :D

I feel like your internal clock is off it that was 5 minutes to you. :p j/k

Using Twitter was an easy and relateable way of telling that particular story. Perhaps you dislike Twitter in general and therefore have a negative reaction from the second you see or hear anything Twitter related.
Either way I guess I can understand where you're coming from even though I thought Chef was pretty good and liked the use of Twitter.

I don't have a particular problem with Twitter but at the same time I don't like it shoved down my throat. In the same way the film 'The Internship' annoyed me with all the Google stuff, I feel the whole film revolved around Twitter and was a huge advertisement for it (I don't have any knowledge of whether they sponsored it or not). One particular thing was the mile long queue outside his food cart 5 minutes after making a post on Twitter.

I do like Sofia Vergara though. :D

It was more like 15-20 minutes after he posted on Twitter. New Orleans has a lot of tourists and they had been getting a lot of attention during their road trip.
I bought it at least. But people see things differently. :)

Every straight male likes Sofia Vergara. ;)
