Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

All the great comic actors in this movie made me think it would be hilarious. It was so awful and awkward to watch; yet I watched to the end hoping it would get better. Was I ever disappointed! Writing and direction were awful. Is it possible the good parts were edited out? Don't waste time or electricity on this movie. So horrible.

Oh my god. OH MY GOD! Please don't summit yourself to this movie if you don't have to. There are American's overseas that are having bamboo shoved under their fingernails thinking "At least I'm not watching the movie Cookoff." My wife is a big Melissa McCarthy fan and wanted to rent a comedy compared to her usual horror/possession film. I, for one, welcomed the change, but on the way home, I Youtubed the movie we rented and found nothing...NOTHING but horrible reviews about it. One person quoted In a review that" He watched the trailer and now he has cancer." Damn funny, buy I agree with him whole-heartedly. I drank a mixture of rum/peach-a-rita drinks to ease my pain and let me tell you...I couldn't get drunk enough to enjoy this waste of film. For gods sake, don't waste your time with this. You'll never get back the time or money.

This movie sucked SO bad. Only reason I kept watching is because I paid for it, 8 bucks. Mellissa McCarthey was in it prob a whole of 4 Min's. That was the only reason I rented. Save your money!!!!!! Story line was awful and all over the place. I am really surprised Mellissa degraded her self to this movie. She Must really need the money.

The Movie " COOK OFF" made my husband and myself laugh like crazy! Cathryn Michion, Melissa McCarthy and all the other actors and actress's, were absolutely fabulous in their roles! I couldn't stop laughing and I still can't stop laughing. The opening credits were so very creative, I have never seen anything like that before, that blew my mind! When I saw that, I just knew this move was going to be great and it was! I suggest that everybody please go see this! This will lift up your spirits, you will smile, laugh all day long and for days after that, too! It's one of the funniest movies I have seen in a very long time! Thank you for making my hubby and I laugh so very much. I am telling all of my friends to go see this great and very funny 10 star movie! I promise you will laugh all day long and after that, too! Enjoy!
