Did no one else see this yet?
Ralphes Fiennes plays a chef dedicated to haute cuisine, fed up with both the bastardization of his craft and the indifference of those who supposedly appreciate it (diners and critics). He decides to serve one final meal, specifically tailored to each of the guests in attendance, and then... Well, it's a comedy-horror, so it doesn't end well!
While I enjoyed the film overall, I found the pacing a bit lumpy. There were some brilliant moments (the cheeseburger!), but much of it was just a slog. Moments of brilliance interspersed throughout tedious filler; much like a Kevin Smith film in that regard.
But worth checking out at least once, if you're in a dark mood.
