Leave your thoughts about The Cookout.
| Reel.comTimothy KnightThe movie unfolds in the most perfunctory fashion. At least the food looks good. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThere are a few chuckles scattered the film, but there's more embarrassment over the tired, obvious gags. It's not a black thing or a white thing; it's an incompetent thing. |
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerPlenty of action and confusion in this wild story that culminates in a cookout. |
| Boston HeraldTenley WoodmanA slow build-up to the actual cookout takes the punch out of the cast of colorful characters. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneDirector Lance Rivera has never directed a movie before, and he doesn't start here. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonThere might have been a decent comedy here if someone had remembered to insert some actual humor. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenWants to be an outdoor, barbecue-grilled "Barbershop" but lacks the pungency and honesty of its prototype. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanThe Cookout holds a smug, mean-spirited undercurrent, made all the more rotten by an attempted sincerity as false as a set of dentures. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeThe few high points hardly add up to enough to keep this barbecue grill from just fizzling out. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumSends comedy backward in time, and we're in the 1970s, ethno-sitcom style: These Andersons in their out-of-date white, snooty gated community apparently confuse themselves with their forebears on The Jeffersons. |
