Highly Overrated But Still Good

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Isn't cooking FANTASTIC....WOW!TURN UP THE ROCK'N'ROLL!!!!!I think the food they cook looks very good but this show is so exhausting to watch while we're constantly forced to believe that cooking is SOOOO UNBELIEVABLY COOL & FANTABULOUS....all the film cutting, the grinning, the teeth flashing, the loud raunchy music, the slinging the food around and forced ENTHUSIASM wears thin after about three minutes. In fact, it's exhausting.I think these obviously very talented cooks undermine themselves with this rock'n'roll food show. Maybe they can come back and do a cookery show for grown-ups that focuses more on their food than their teeth...and maybe in the meantime they can turn down the 'in yer face' raunchy soundtrack.

This show was great. To temper your expectations, this is a cooking show where two brothers have "pie wars" to see who can bake the best pie, so this is not high drama.That said, my sons (twins are 8, and the youngest is 6) love to watch this show with me. We all line up on the sofa when a new episode is ready. There were only 6 episodes in the first season, so my sincere hope is that they make more.They bake everything in a wood fired brick over, which is very cool. They use imprecise measurements like a glug of oil, a knob of butter (this can be a big knob or a little knob depending on how much you need), and they put salt in every thing they make (go on, watch the whole season you will see). The show is fast paced, and I love it when the sit on the tattered old leather sofa to talk about what they are going to make. OK, last bit, seeing them mix the dough with their hands and then knead the loaf by hand on a big butcher block table makes me want to bake something.
