The Kitchen

It was a nice independent movie. It was like some friends got together and said let's make a movie with all there friends. They had a lot of fun. I likes seeing Leon Perone and Brayn Greenburg working together again. I don't know what it was supposed to be it wasn't a comedy or a drama. It just was. the extra's were ok. It did show how silly they are were more silly comedy there

A boring film with a few decent actors who are obviously desperate for work. October Road was the last time Laura and Bryan had a decent part and sold it. After the fall of "Don't trust the b!tch in apt 23," Dreama is either struggling financially, or has poor taste in scripts. I guess someone owed these 3 a favor. It isn't funny. It's slow paced. I honestly don't know what the director was trying to achieve, other than a charity flick to keep Laura, Bryan and Dreama's fridges stocked and mortgages paid for a short time. IMO, This movie is a nail in the coffin in their careers.

I've been using IMDb for over a decade, but this is the movie that finally made me register an account. There are much better ways to spend one hour and eighteen minutes. Go to bed early instead. You'll just fall asleep 30 minutes in, once you realize it's just going to be boring drivel to the end.

I had the pleasure of seeing The Kitchen at the Tallgrass Film Festival in Wichita, KS. I have to say when I saw Tate Ellington was in it, I had it at the top of my list of films to check out that weekend. As, much as I was looking forward to seeing it, it was so much better than I had anticipated.

The Kitchen is a very well acted and very funny film that I highly recommend. Keep an eye out for it on the festival circuit and hopefully wider release.

I felt like it was cast just for me, with some of my favorite character actors and up and coming comedic actors. Tate Ellington, Matt Bush, Catherine Reitman and Baron Vaughan should all be in more stuff, and they all get to shine in this one. Overall, a great job was done with casting this film.

The Kitchen itself is a well directed ensemble comedy. Director Ishai Setton does a great job of making you forget that the whole film takes place inside just a kitchen. The movement of the camera following different party goers helps it never feel claustrophobic like the one room film Tape. Will definitely check out Setton's other films.

I didn't particularly enjoy this movie or see any overall point to it. It wasn't much of a comedy, and I lost interest in whatever drama was occurring.

The characters were fairly unsympathetic and/or uninteresting. Penny (Dreama Walker) was particularly unlikeable - bitchy to everyone without cause, yet convinced she's more mature than the average man. When the thoroughly hen-pecked Kenny (Tate Ellington) finally loses his cool with her, the film treats him as the one in the wrong.

I liked the ending (not just because it was over), but because it was the one little touch of humanity in the whole film. It's not really worth watching just to find out what I'm talking about here.
