Funny and heartwarming film
Hank Ogden (Mark L. Taylor) is a coach for a junior-high level community baseball team, the Groundhogs. Unfortunately, the team is much closer to the Bad News Bears than the New York Yankees. Hank’s son Eddie (Taylor Ball) is one of the few quality players, and Hank thinks he has a shot of making it to the major leagues. Although Eddie likes baseball, he discovers that his true passion is for cooking. Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off is the comic tale of conflicting desires and expectations between Eddie and his friends, family and teammates over his aspirations.

Although some viewers may have difficulty looking past the exaggerated social beliefs and interactions fueling a prominent “moral of the story”, this is a great, funny film that succeeds because of the style, subtlety and comic sense of director Paul Hoen, aided by excellent performances. I don’t think I’ve ever seen food fights filmed this artfully before. Yes, food fights are clichéd, and much of the script, on its own, would be somewhat clichéd and banal, but Hoen and the cast manage to make the film feel fresh and original. I almost felt as though I had never seen a film centered around food before–your eyes are opened to the many metaphorical ways that such a commonplace thing is woven through our lives.

Of course, this film isn’t just about food, though. Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off is intended to help shatter gender stereotypes–especially the way we try to graft them on to our children. The message is to follow your dreams, and be what you want to be, whether it’s what others have planned for you, or expect of you, or not. At the same time, there’s a message about supporting others in following their dreams. These are valuable messages for people of any age, not just kids, and the exaggerated and old-fashioned-seeming pigeonholing shown by the characters in the film are only cartoonish to emphasize the point.

This might all sound dreadfully serious and preachy, but the film doesn’t tend to play that way. It plays as lighthearted, humorous and heartwarming. Just be careful that your kids don’t have easy access to blenders and ovens after they watch the film, or you’ll have some serious cleaning to do.

A 9 out of 10 from me.

A bit of trivia about the music
Didn’t really watch the movie but while my kids were watching and I was reading the paper I heard them using the song “Soul Food” which is from Leon Russell’s 1967 album, Asylum Choir that he did with a guy named Marc Benno. For those who never heard of Leon, check him out – he should be in the Rock and Roll hall of Fame for his contributions during the early years with such folks as the Beach Boys, Joe Cocker and as a solo artist. Weird…..I am a huge Leon fan and the last place I would have expected to find his songs – let alone this one is a Disney movie. Great choice Mr. Director…… well i see I need ten lines of text so here goes.. this is the tenth line!!!!!!
