Makes you Hungry for Thanksgiving Dinner
by Florence T. Marney (WA)
Great Thanksgiving Movie. Story of 4 family all living on the same street corner and their Holiday.. Terrific... Will may you hungry!!
5/5
great holiday movie
by Jackson Rosol
i had the pleasure of seeing this movie when it was out. in fact, saw it twice. so glad to get this, as i will have it on as i prepare my thanksgiving dinner. i prepare different things days ahead, so i can have this movie on several times. never get tired of this movie! this movie shows that we are so much more alike then we are different. if more people saw this movie, we would be living in a much better society. this is a great watch for the whole family. you won't be dissapointed.
3/5
Great movie, bad DVD
by Library girl (Thousand Oaks, CA)
I loved this movie, and when my copy of the first release "went bad," I ordered this re-released DVD. Unfortunately, this copy doesn't do justice to the movie--the color is sporadically off, and the sound mixing makes it very hard to hear the dialogue over the soundtrack. If you can, order the first DVD (now discontinued, but available through sellers).
2/5
disappointed
by Mel (United States)
I was looking for a Thanksgiving movie with comedy, since I have only 2 comedy movies for Thanksgiving. I was very disappointed in this movie. I love the different cultural ways people celebrate Thanksgiving dinner in America, but this movie should be a drama more than anything. It showed how society has changed families from a kid keeping a gun for a friend in his house, lesbians having kids, etc. I would not suggest anyone to buy this movie that has not already seen it and also not suggest to buy it, if they want a comedy. This movie has no comedy in it.
5/5
Really great movie!
by Dace Dimitrijeva (MI, United States)
I absolutely loved this movie! It's little different than average Hollywood produce. I believe it's because it was directed by non-Hollywood director. Funny, dramatic, and amazingly realistic. Great casting and superb acting!
What's Cooking? Summary

Sit back, relax and enjoy this "generous and charming" (The New York Times) tale of four very different families as they cook up some tasty holiday surprises: love, betrayal and even a few outrageous secrets! And, ultimately, discover the astonishing power love has to reconnect us all. System Requirements: Starring: Jo
What's Cooking? Signature Series (dvd Movie)
At first glance,
What's Cooking?
looks like it was dreamed up by some politically correct screenwriting committee: a series of overlapping stories that intercut among four families (one Hispanic, one Vietnamese, one African American, one Jewish) all preparing for Thanksgiving dinner. But what could be toothless and smarmy is made gripping and genuinely affecting by a mixture of observant writing, fluid direction, and a truly superb ensemble of actors, including Mercedes Ruehl, Alfre Woodard, Joan Chen, Julianna Margulies, Kyra Sedgewick, Dennis Haysbert, and a host of less well known but just as capable others. The script is a marvel of orchestration: small annoyances blossom into fierce conflicts, secrets are deftly revealed, and sanctimoniousness is subtly punctured. The acute but sympathetic portrait of family stress and tension is layered with quiet observations about race and class, as well as the capacity for tolerance and forgiveness. It's recently become a cliché to have characters express themselves through food (examples include
Soul Food
,
Big Night
, and
Eat Drink Man Woman
), but
What's Cooking?
turns food into a witty exploration of culture as everyone prepares their turkeys in entertainingly different ways--this is not a movie to watch on an empty stomach. Warm without false sentiment,
What's Cooking?
is deeply enjoyable.
