It's simply another example of how corporate advertising continues to overtly commandeer everyday spaces like film and social media. Go to Full Review
Megan Garber The Atlantic 12/15/2020
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. Go to Full Review
Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle 12/14/2020
3/4
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. Go to Full Review
Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings 12/22/2022
[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. Go to Full Review

At the end of it, if nothing else, I should've been hungering for chicken. And I wasn't. Go to Full Review
Korey Coleman Double Toasted 01/20/2021
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. Go to Full Review

John R 05/27/2024 Absolute masterpiece See more Armynurse68c G 03/28/2024 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! See more Aiden L 03/05/2024 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 See more Michael S 02/26/2024 Not sure how anyone could watch this. It's littered with plot holes and smacks of one of those fake productions from 30-Rock See more BradLee B 10/10/2023 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.... See more 03/21/2021 Phenomenal Movie 13/10, Secrets out chicken man. See more Read all reviews
