Random Vignettes: Chef(ail)
You guys, the Mexican poster for Jon Favreau’s Chef is horrid.
In a world with so many gifted graphic designers, it baffles me that such an atrocity exists. They could’ve gone with one of the great-looking dishes featured in the film (so I’m told) or a decent picture of its even better-looking cast but they went with this.
Wow… PhotoShop nightmare…

I know, right? Just awful. They just took random photos of the cast and stuck clich’ed chef hats on them.

Oh my goodness that is horrible. hahaha. I just assumed the yellow background one (the really cool one) was the standard international poster. . . .

I would’ve thought so too! But apparently not.

That is horrid. The U.S. one is way better and don’t understand why it couldn’t have been repurposed.

This, this is marketing brilliance right here. It’s like an artistic statement all on it’s own.

Besides the atrocious Photoshop, five of the six actors aren’t even chefs.

Ay caramba! It is ghastly indeed, Fernando. It’s too bad as it’s really quite a cast.

That’s hilarious. If I was Dustin Hoffman I think I would sue. He looks ridiculous on this poster, well even more so than everyone else.

It’s so horrible, right? And yeah, Hoffman somehow stands out in awfulness.

Just watched this again and I’m dumbfounded by something else. Why did a Spanish poster leave off one of the stars that actually speaks Spanish?? – actor John Leguizamo!
