Cook Off!

I'm going to admit right away that this movie will seem not funny to some. If you like the dry awkward humor of movies like napoleon dynamite or drop dead gorgeous you'll like this.

My favorite was niecy nash as "ladybug" and wendi mclendon-covey as "pauline".

One thing i really didn't like is you could definitely tell they used ALL of the footage they had of melissa McCarthy because she had gotten famous. Her part was stupid and it went on for way too long. (i guess on the bright side people who don't understand why things are edited, "dropped on the cutting room floor", or doesn't make it into the movie this'll perfectly illustrate why.)

overall the movie got more laughs out of me than other comedies that have same kind of star power.

Its cute, its funny and it has its own charm.

Enjoy!

A lot of users haven given this movie a very poor rating, which I think is completely unfair. Credit is not given to the actors for their performances, which are quite outstanding. I am a big Reno 911 fan, and this movie has a very Reno 911 feel to it, which is why I think I am more receptive to the type of humor presented in this movie. There are also very touching moments and when the person who won won, I did tear up. I just suggest to watch with an open mind.

Found it funny at first, but by the time Melissa M. came on board and basically ad-libbed her stuff, it had gotten old and no longer funny. Definitely would have been better under the guidance of Christopher Guest. Ended up not finishing it, as I was watching it with commercials, and it just wasn't worth sitting through commercials for.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and love all the actors!

It's only funny if you enjoy dry dumb humor. It is a bit stretched out/ slow but I didn't mind because it's a mockumentary and they usually have that weird pace.

I've seen a lot of bad reviews because they go in expecting something more.

So to lay it out for people who are questioning if they want to watch it: You have to keep an open mind!

If you don't like dumb humor don't watch. If you don't like a movie that feels like a bunch of weird skits forced together don't watch. If you enjoy watching wacky mockumentaries with awesome comedians then give it a try!

It is just a silly relaxing movie to pass time with I think it got released after Melissa McCarthy got famous...she is just a guest star and shouldn't be the main star on the poster
