Cook Off! (Melissa McCarthy Cooking Mockumentary)

[Himmel]

Melissa McCarthy stars as a competitive baking contestant squaring off against a roster of quirky, offbeat characters.

Louie Anderson, Ben Falcone and Phil LaMarr also star in the upcoming film.

Directed by co-written by Cathryn Michon, who also stars in the film, Cook Off! shares a familiar style with writer-director Christopher Guest's send-ups of dog shows (2000's Best in Show) and folk music (2003's A Mighty Wind) with its mockumentary filmmaking style and cast of bizarre, charming characters.

Cook Off! opens nationwide on Nov. 17.

That reminds me of the Rat Race poster for some reason.

"A half-baked comedy".
Honesty in modern Hollywood at last.

This looks like this was made a while ago because Marcia Wallace is in the credits and she passed about three years ago.

It was made in 2006 and had one showing at the US Comedy Arts Festival Aspen in 2007 before being shelved for ten years.

Not a recipe for success one suspects.
