Bullied high school student Tommy is suddenly befriended by his chief tormentor, Matt, the school's most popular student and star athlete. Tommy is suspicious, but is forced to accept the awkward friendship in order to enter a cooking contest with a big prize. And besides, it's so much easier to impress his crush, Sarah, when he's not getting beat up by Matt and his team. As the cooking contest heats up, Sarah sniffs out a conspiracy, but nobody wants to hear about it. Can Tommy trust his budding friendship with Matt or is it all a huge joke on him?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a narrative that contrasts the surface of a teen comedy with the underlying tension of a story about trust and vulnerability. It explores the cooking contest as a clever metaphor for the social competition of high school, where the recipes involve deception and hope.

What lingers after the final scene is a quiet reflection on the fragility of alliances formed in the crucible of adolescence. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Anthony Joseph Giunta
