It's simply another example of how corporate advertising continues to overtly commandeer everyday spaces like film and social media.

This rom-comic ad-movie is campy, but not camp in the strict Sontagian sense. It's silly, but deeply aware of its silliness. It's escapist in a moment when distraction from the world's realities can be a rare commodity.

San Francisco Chronicle

Lopez is the most respectful fake Sanders yet, giving "Recipe's" least soapy performance. He brings a stoicism and a bravery to the character, who can head-butt a guy without disturbing his own horn-rimmed specs.

Rated: 3/4

Nightmarish Conjurings

[A] brazen hybrid of marketing and entertainment that weaponizes camp and irony in order to anthropomorphize a multi-billion dollar corporation in the form of a disturbingly sexy mascot who winks at the audience to let them know he’s in on the joke.

At the end of it, if nothing else, I should've been hungering for chicken. And I wasn't.

Double Toasted

A soap satire, where the shorter the better...the trailer works better, to be honest with you, but it's just 15 minutes and you will get a couple of chuckles from this.

To all the haters of this movie I say "Beat it crouton!" It's a pretty funny little film, take it as it is and not too seriously!

A beautiful love story centered around KFC's very own chicken man. I mean, wow. I've been never seen someone so hot that I almost exploded! I must say, the villain was quite impressive. How could someone be so evil, yet so good? It's like the 4 years ago modern Thanos. I'd never rooted for a villain until I saw this movie. Although short, this movie perfectly depicts the true to life story of Colonel Sanders. 20/10. Secrets out, chicken man

Not sure how anyone could watch this. It's littered with plot holes and smacks of one of those fake productions from 30-Rock

What the HECK was THIS?!?! KFC teaming up with Lifetime TV to make a ROMANTIC DRAMA about their FOUNDER?!?! What were these people thinking? Also, I didn't like the casting for Colonel Sanders. He's not Mexican. Just because you want a sexy Colonel Sanders doesn't mean that you cast the actor that played SLATER from SAVED BY THE BELL!!! Get a Caucasian person like Zac Efron or Ryan Reynolds or something. And also, this "film" was WAY too short. If you want to make a romantic comedy that escalates into a murder story, make it LONGER. Not only does it give a chance to flesh out the characters more, but it gives time to build up the plot. But I gave this a 1 1/2 star review because it was a creative plot and decent acting. But still, this was a disappointment and I hope Lifetime never EVER makes a sequel. Goodbye....
