ridiculous rating

Nice effects though.

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.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I can't believe how talented these kids are! They are wonderful to be able to cook at that kind of level! I give them so much credit!Frankly from what i've seen so far i didn't see any bullying but then again, the other kids do shout at one another to support them and motivate them. Perhaps that can be concieved as bullying? That i'm not too sure about but the show is definitely amazing to watch especially when a 9 year old can cook like that. simply amazing.

SHow is 99% fake.... Many kids are actors, like Troy from last season was on Modern family and does those fake "Kids react" videos on youtube. The kids get acting lessons before the show. They have the recipes under their bench, they have been instructed how to make the dishes ahead of time. Real Chefs come in and help them cook and plate the dishes for the challenges! All the confessions and dialogue are scripted... fake fake fake fakeSHow is 99% fake....

At first watching this series I was certain it was going to be a mini-me version of the adult show. Lots of great food, some talented cooks and lots of backstabbing and dysfunctional behavior. What a surprise, these kids were wonderfully genuine, their food knowledge was astounding and the camaraderie they exuded was truly refreshing. Certainly during the shows there was some "I'm better" talk, and not every moment was a jewel, but all in all these kids could teach the adults a lesson or two in good manners and decent behavior. The food these children cooked blew me away. There willingness to use and eat foods outside their comfort zones was a lesson in itself. Add to that that they rooted for each other, helped each other and in the end hugged and comforted each other was without a doubt the best part of this show. It restored my faith in the ability of people to work hard strive to achieve and remain connected to our fellow travelers. I have never had a bigger smile on my face watching a show! Here is to many many more seasons!

In the day and age we're in, facing a huge problem with bullying, I think last nights show was terrible. Troy bullied that little girl almost the whole time they were in the kitchen and he gets kudos for it. I know no one patted him on the back for it but the underlying message is that it's OK to have bullying, even in a working situation and it's NOT. Parents have a hard enough time trying to teach their kids the right way to treat people and last nights episode fell right through the cracks. I've worked in kitchens and that is just not acceptable! Kids have a hard enough time growing up as it is now. They are forced to be small adults before they're even ready too. To be accepting of that kind of behavior is wrong. There's enough bullying in school, on the playgrounds, and sadly in jobs to be allowing it to happen on a kids based show. I do agree that kids should learn; age appropriately, that there will be winners and losers and at some point you will be on each end of it. I do not however believe we should be promoting a winner as someone who treats people like Troy did, I don't care how good the kid cooks - teach the lessons parents are stressing to teach their children!!
