Ah, 'Culinary Showdown: The Last Spatula,' the film that asks the age-old question: What's tougher, the world or a three-day-old baguette? In this flavor-forsaken future, Sandra 'Sizzle' Pan, played by the ever-so-loafable Sandra Bulloaf, tosses more than just salads in her quest to be the top chef in what is essentially a glorified episode of a post-apocalyptic cooking show. And let's not forget Lawranch Olivier, who clearly relished the role of 'Grillmaster' Gary, a character with enough hamminess to start his own deli. Empanada Thompson, meanwhile, clearly misunderstood the assignment, serving up a performance so wooden it could double as a chopping board. Directed by Edgar Wrenwright, who must have been on a sugar high thinking this recipe for dark comedy would rise to the occasion, the film delivers a medley of action and laughs that's akin to a mystery meat stew – you're not quite sure what you're consuming, but it's oddly satisfying. The puns are as rare as a good steak in this cinematic universe, and the romance is as cheesy as a stuffed crust pizza. In essence, 'Culinary Showdown: The Last Spatula' is the kind of movie you watch with a side of fries and low expectations, a dish best served with a generous pour of your favorite adult beverage to make it all the more palatable.
