In Los Angeles, the loosely intertwined stories of four different extended families from four different ethno-cultural backgrounds - the Hispanic Avilas, the Vietnamese Nguyens, the Jewish Seeligs and the black Williamses - gathering for their respective Thanksgiving dinners are presented. Their stories are remarkably similar, but each with their own ethno-cultural spin: turkey with a twist being prepared primarily by the head female of the household, largely ethnic sides accompanying the turkey, football on television, and family dysfunction in many different forms pervading the atmosphere of the gathering, the elephant or elephants in the room which most in the know don't want to be discussed on what is supposed to be this day of thanks. A single event at one of the dinners has a profound effect on all four gatherings.
Leave your thoughts about What's Cooking?.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasFor so brisk and entertaining a film, sharp in its observations but light in its touch, Cooking has unexpected substance and is a formidable accomplishment in that it brings dimension to its nearly 40 principal characters. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBecause the stories are so skillfully threaded together, the movie doesn't feel like an exercise: Each of the stories stands on its own. |
| Matinee MagazineJason ClarkMay be the first film in history where the food has infinitely more personality than the people. |
| Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufWhat makes this movie special is the meticulous attention placed on each of its characters, employing them not in the traditional "melting pot" manner that is so common, but as part of a grand mosaic that actually seems to be worth sharing. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeChadha juggles her characters so deftly that we never get tired of any of them and eagerly look forward to returning to each table as her camera jumps around. |
| OregonianKim MorganGoes overboard in its presentation of supposed reality. |
| Milwaukee Journal SentinelMack BatesAn infectious film that successfully juxtaposes four seemingly different families during the most joyous and stressful time of the year. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyHer (Chadha) film tastily demonstrates that variety is the spice of not only American life, but of American cuisine. |
| Entertainment WeeklyTy BurrLike the meal itself, the movie's both filling and familiar. |
| BBC.comJane CrowtherA combination of fresh ingredients mixed together with skill to create a well-balanced harmony of diverse flavours. Delicious. |
