Cook Off!

...you will thoroughly enjoy this film. Reminiscent of Christopher Guest films (Best in Show, Spinal Tap, etc.), this movie was a pleasant surprise. Had never heard of it until it showed up as a "viewers also watched" list and I was instantly reminded of one of my all-time favorite comedies, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Hilarious performances, great story and some truly awful looking food (somebody had to make all of those weird dishes in the opening sequence).

Completely disagree with the dismemberment of this title.....Being watched all so wrong.....The intended projection is perfectly performed. Let your allegiance of logic disperse. Excellent loved it....Would give it a 7.6 but trolls trash it so a 10 to realize reality and balance the poor ratings.

4/10 - disappointing mockumentary that wasted its stars' (two of my faves: Melissa and Niecy) potential

I love cooking shows. I love the "mockumentary" style of the " Best of Show" type movies. This movie seemed like it would be perfect for me. The first 1/2 hour or so, I really enjoyed it. A great, recognizable, funny cast was working for me. Then all of a sudden the wheels fell off. The start of the downfall was when Melissa Macarthy character was introduced. I like her, but she was not funny in this movie. Just uncomfortable to watch. The movie just took an overall mean spirited feel to it, that made it painful to watch. The movie just thinks it's much funnier than it is. It seems like a ton of ad libbing was going on, so maybe a better editor would have improved the film.

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!
