Yes - the title of a Paul Simon song - but this is what the movie is about. We have some great food being cooked and some scenes that are about things other than food or relationships, but the basic thrust of this film is about a father and son really getting to know each other and liking the result.
The boy only wants to hang with dad, but dad thinks he needs to do things with the boy to make him happy. A mother and ex who really is concerned for the boy, not herself, helps the relationship grow.
Through some contrived circumstances, the father and son are together on a trip through the south of America and with social media's blessings, come to realize they really like each other.
OK - the foodies have some food porn thrust at them - but the relationship between father and son drives this film.
The ending is predicable - but what is not is the friendship and trust that a former employee shows the chef as he helps him with the lessons needed to show the son how to cope in a real kitchen.
Being a former Chicagoan - I can only say I give it a full thumbs up!
