Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com Dec 15, 2020
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 Dec 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 Dec 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 Dec 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.

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 Jan 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 Read all reviews

Matt R @RT11203953 Jan 8, 2026 Bingo McMario fry’s up more than chicken. But this is not historically accurate. See more Armynurse68c G @RT35637713 Mar 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 @RT21249920 Mar 5, 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 @Mike_Speziale Feb 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 @RT67025210 Oct 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 Mar 21, 2021 Phenomenal Movie 13/10, Secrets out chicken man. See more Read all reviews
