I walk away from this feeling pretty good. These people didn't make any excuses for their lives. Straight forward, and unfiltered. They lived it, and dealt with ramifications.
I read Kitchen Confidential a few years after it came out, and really liked the book. I would frequently tune into No Reservations, and liked the early seasons. As I continued to watch, which included Parts Unknown, I got increasingly irritated with Bourdain. Increased pontification with a sense of righteousness frequently became the theme. It had a level of meanest coming through. Obviously he has demons, but the movie kinda fell short, and touched over his faults.
Overall all it was ok. The acting is generally good, and the storyline isn't bad. However, at times it felt contrived, and stiff. Many times the scenes didn't feel organic. Some themes I thought were overplayed. Hopefully season 2 will be and improvement.
