First there was Jon Favreau's "Chef," a labor of love that needed favors from Dustin Hoffman and others to be made. When Gabe gets a diagnosis of terminal cancer, the film's soul-searching shifts into high gear. There are a lot of funny bits - the family's "swear jar," where money is put after someone curses (conceived to teach the kids a lesson, but it's Dad who contributes the lion's share of the money); Aidan's attempt at home schooling his children after they are pulled out of school - and some not-so-funny ones (an old rabbi on a Segway).
