Fantastic!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There are SPOILERS in this review. To even entertain the notion that this wasn't a good show is laughable. It was a great show. To watch the determination of children competing for not only a reward but the satisfaction of making something worthy of 3 well known culinary faces. Although I can agree I was disappointed at the actions of Troy and because of them he should not have been advanced in the competition to the next round however he knew what he was doing but as a young teen he didn't handle it well.The key there was that when asked Sarah still thought and wanted Troy to win the competition. I enjoyed the genuine satisfaction and happiness on the faces of these kids, it made you want to root for them. I'm a teacher know several children between the ages of 8 and 15 who saw the show and wanted to learn how to cook. In an age where all children want to do is be on their tablets and video games, it is nice to see that cooking is an alternative worth considering.

I think MasterChef Junior is a wonderful show! The kids are absolutely amazing and talented! They are great cooks and are super adorable! It's so sad to see any of them go- they're all so amazing, even if they do have their flaws. After all, they are like 10 years old! I do think the judges are really easy on the kids and put on a super nice act for them because they are kids. I also see a bit of favoritism towards Alexander and Sarah but not a lot.I wish they would only eliminate 1 person per episode. I get that they don't want to single out just 1 person but it seems like the season is going by realllllllllly quickly. Maybe eliminate 2 people every other episode? Did anyone else notice how all of the contestants are from California, New York, or New Jersey?

What a shock the judges are showing favoritism. The kids knew Alexander was ready to go home Give me a break the cake looked awful and tasteless Please somebody tell me I'm not lying What going to happened if he is weak in another episode Does the judges overlooked again We must write more reviews about the last episode However, the kids are gifted and smart Some of those foods I know I can't prepare without reading a cookbook. I think the competition belongs to the adults cooks.. When I saw the show I almost wanted to delete the program from my regular recordings but I just love cooking shows and competitions. I decided to continue to keep it.

Being a fan of Masterchef, I felt compelled to share my thoughts after watching episode 1 of Junior Masterchef:The first thing that hit me was how obnoxious all 3 judges have become! I mean GOOD GOD, why are they trying to be so playful and cute here? It's like this show is the tinytoons of MasterChef. And when they're not acting ridiculously cartoonish, they're coming off just plain awkward, or even intimidating in some cases! Ramsey playing with the Asian girl's stupid bow, or him playing cupid - inquiring a 12 year old about her love life (wth was that about?), or Graham's stone-faced "WHY ARE YOU CRYING?". The commentary is smack you in the face pandering (their repeated murmurings of disbelief about how challenging the task is for kids so young, or how "this is CRAZY", or asking "So you've never worked in ITALY?" or "Do you wear that shirt when you're gambling?"). The notion that these are normal kids picked out from a street campaign is also ridiculous. Of course I'm just assuming this is how they were selected because the who, where, and how part of this abortion was skipped altogether. One thing is clear though, these are NOT normal kids. It was like they were conditioned from birth to perform - all of them. One girl said how she really didn't like cooking with organs, another said that she started working with homemade pasta at 4! In what kind of a privileged, silver-spooned world do 4 year olds dabble in homemade pasta? Are these kids Brad n Angelina's - are they a Trump?? Even with a privileged upbringing assumed, their skill is still too unrealistically high. We have 7-12 year olds here; each one of them finished the challenge with a respectable dish, one I'd feel lucky to eat ... it's clear they've had, and ARE currently receiving, plenty of guidance from JMC personnel.So senseless. This is a high-pressured environment, a cooking contest, where even professionals can get sloppy and make mistakes, yet we have 7-12 year olds handling knives and full-blown boiling water, and there's large equipment tucked away on high shelves with no stepping stools anywhere in sight (except at the cooking stations). All the while, the parents gawk on from above like jack-assed, pastel wearing goons. It's commendable how much importance the judges place on protecting the kids' feelings, too bad it's done with no grace. They give the slightest hint of a suggestion of a critique, making the viewer and kid think there's nothing to be alarmed of, then they immediately counter it with a very unconvincing, almost sarcastically upbeat "great job :)!!" - making it clear just how dissatisfying they actually find the dish to be. It was soon clear that this was the judges' "tell" whenever they dropped the axe on an innocent.Yes, after all this clumsy care for the kid's emotional welfare, they throw it all out the window by inexplicably and somewhat arbitrarily sending half of them home. 12/24 little lambs were slaughtered in a blink of Ramsay's eye! And for what Ramsay .. FOR WHAT??! Well, for the trophy of course, that hunk of plastic that's designed to bring these bright-eyed children to each other's throats. A couple of observations: 1) Alexander is the ringer, a 30 year old executive chef planted within JMC. 2) Jack is the coolest, that kid says what he feels. 3) You have the BALLS to send Nathan home Ramsay? Dude's 7 years old, he could barely pick up the food processor he was required to use, and STILL put out a dish that was restaurant quality. 4) I hope there are elimination rounds coming up ... (shrug).
