"Contest" more than makes up for some first-time-filmmaker shortcomings with its sincerity and unexpected strengths in the storyline and cinematography. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 10/08/2013

03/23/2018 Just a typical disney snoozefest that gets exciting once in a blue moon See more Frances H 05/01/2015 Nice young adult film with great anti-bullying and pro-teamwork message. See more 10/27/2014 It starts out with a promising idea of a bully being forced to team up with his tortured for a cookery contest, however given there good bully-bad bully progression of the storyline it gets bogged down with this and becomes quite dark after a while before retiring to its idealistic conclusion. It doesn't quite work with these two styles, but it's watchable at least. See more 10/27/2014 so, so and predictable... See more 04/25/2014 Sweet story and premise with terrible acting, pacing and sloppy scene transitions. See more 01/09/2014 Loved the message of the movie, and the music is amazing!
