A 100-minute Michelin commercial

This movie makes me uncomfortable to watch.
First of all, the rhythm is too fast, which makes me feel tired.
Secondly, the male lead is too scumbag. The male protagonist did a lot of stupid things three years ago, owed a debt, and the world evaporated, so Luke had to close the restaurant and also made Luke's daughter's belly bigger. Now that he wants to make a comeback, he still has the face to ask for help from others, and he is dragged like an uncle! The amazing thing is that in this movie, except for the black brother, everyone is the Virgin! Everyone is helping the hero! The male protagonist has a bad personality, demanding perfection, yelling when he is anxious, throwing tableware, the kitchen has become a high-pressure battlefield, and he is not friendly to the female protagonist, and he does not even approve a day off. The movie is also whitewashed for the male protagonist! No, even this can't change the fact that the hero is a scumbag.
And, seriously, Michelin? The goal of the male protagonist alone brought this movie down a notch.
