For a chef, Jon Favreau looks too soft, thoughtful, and tender. I can only see him as Happy and not as a chef. This shit is funny. A boomer in social media is definitely a laughing stock, and on the other side, if a Gen Z uses it for real, businesses boom! This movie also shows that when someone's too passionate about his work, he can become an absentee parent. But as the film develops, their relationship also improves. RDJ here is just playing another Tony Stark variant in a different universe. John Leguizamo’s character is nice, super supportive. Feel good and very positive ending.
