Very disappointed :(

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Absolutely Fantastic

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is both very simple to describe, and impossible to summarize.It is, at its heart, a parody of 80's and 90's TV show opening credits. But it quickly changes into absolute insanity. It incorporates all the usual TV tropes - sitcom, cop show, low rent sci-fi, Saturday morning cartoons, rich white people drama - and then throws in an 80's slasher movie plot within itself.This may be the best parody of American television ever done. It speaks to everything wrong, silly, and forced that executives do to ruin TV shows. Amazing, amazing, stuff.Watch this several times and see if you don't spot something new every time.

Wow... What a bizarre film (short film rather) to cover for my first review. At first glance Too Many Cooks seems like it's going to mainly stick to parodying intros of family sitcoms from the late 80's/early 90's in the vein of Full House, Step by Step, Family Matters and so forth. But as the film keeps on progressing it begins to reveal it's true colors, and nothing is more representative of this than the introduction of Smarf (Because what makes an adorable family even more lovable than a cat/alf/muppet/terminator hybrid who shoots rainbows out of his arms).That's really when the brilliance of Too Many Cooks begins to shine. Within the confines of this spoof on sitcoms, Too Many Cooks manages to rip on almost every staple of 90's television and film ranging from police procedurals to slasher films to Saturday morning cartoons to sci-fi programs and more..And it does so with great wit, as if all of these unrelated sequences are all part of one big Cook family, all the while acknowledging and capturing the cheesiness of each genre it's tackling.I can safely say that my favorite part was the moments after the killer finished massacring everyone and the sitcom shifted to him being the different family members, then afterwards as he commenced to feast on all the dismembered limbs of the different Cooks. It felt like a triumph (for me) on all these overly optimistic, happy-go-lucky shows which were so out of touch from reality. Truly warms the heart :)For anyone with an open sense of humor and a soft spot for early 90's television I'd say this a must see. Now i'm waiting for the intro of season 2...

Too Many Cooks isn't something I saw coming. It has a great production value for something that aired at 4AM on Adult Swim, as though its viral nature had been planned from the very start. Its slow descent into insanity is hilarious once you realize what's happening, and foreshadowed well enough that you can actually notice that, for example, the murderer shows up in the first round of the theme song. It forms a surprisingly cohesive narrative, as seen from several points of view in many different versions of the theme song, all with the same name: Too Many Cooks. It's dark, it's surreal, and it's just downright hilarious.

I don't know what the hell I just watched, all I can say was that it was weird and hilarious! From a pretty dopey 80's style family to a peeping tom to a serial killer, this explores all the nostalgically bad elements of 80's television in a laugh-riot sitcom parody! "Mister Corporate", I don't have the slightest idea which sitcom he was making fun of but he was pretty cool, and the slasher movie serial killer flips the whole thing into something beyond description. And the coat... oh my god.It's just so WEIRD! I recommend watching it, in just 11 minutes you'll see one of the strangest things you've seen in some time! Keep an eye out for various parodies like Full House, the Cosby Show, Clarissa Explains It All, Alf, and many more of those 80's TV shows!
