What's Cooking? Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Emanuel Levy
This valentine to the cultural diversity that defines L.A. is a second-tier Altman (or even Paul Thomas Anderson)a broad, accessible comedy that contrasts four large and dynamic families residing on the same street: Latino, black, Jewish, and Asian.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Because the stories are so skillfully threaded together, the movie doesn't feel like an exercise: Each of the stories stands on its own.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A bit melodramatic at times, but still charming.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Has unexpected substance and is a formidable accomplishment in that it brings dimension to its nearly 40 principal characters.
San Francisco Chronicle
Bob Graham
Patient viewers will find that by the time the sparks start to fly and the tears to flow, the wait will have been worth it, to say nothing of the laughs.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Chadha handles the multiple story lines and large cast with an expert hand, cutting back and forth to underscore the similarities and the differences.
Village Voice
Amy Taubin
Trades in sitcom stereotypes and crosscuts predictably from family to family as if under the misapprehension that equal time is a dramatic principle.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The writers observe each family with a knowing eye and a miraculously even hand that lends the jokes the ring of truth.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
For a canvas this broad, the portraiture is exceptionally fine.
Dallas Morning News
Gary Dowell
The louder and more melodramatic the arguments get, the more overwrought the acting becomes.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
Chadha tries to keep so many balls in the air at once, she can't generate any steam in the individual stories.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
This film is lighthearted and smart enough to be one of the best Altmanesque ensemble comedies of the last couple of years.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
The brouhahas are more undercooked than the birds.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
A glorified TV movie.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
Contrived, cliched and condescending.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It's a meal you may feel you've eaten before, but you nonetheless walk away stuffed and happy.
Entertainment Weekly
Ty Burr
Like the meal itself, the movie's both filling and familiar.
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
The film collapses under the weight of stereotypes and a hackneyed concept.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
The film's gluttonous overkill of food is matched only by its overacting.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
It wears both its heart and its politics too obviously on its sleeve for comfort.
