Movie: THE MENU

January 27, 2023, 10:31 PM

Just watched THE MENU, a film that Alton Brown has said is “the funniest film he’s ever seen”

YES it has its satirical or amusing moments, especially from a food perspective. But don’t start watching it thinking it’s going to be a comedy.

to say anything more would ruin the restaurant experience for those who have yet to see it.

we give it a solid B for overall storyline, A+ for all the food references

I watched the trailer for this just now. Looks good! I’ll have to purchase/rent to watch.

but to make sure, this is the 2022 release, correct?
