Ashlie D. Stevens Salon.com Dec 15, 2020
It's simply another example of how corporate advertising continues to overtly commandeer everyday spaces like film and social media. Go to Full Review Megan Garber The Atlantic Dec 15, 2020
This rom-comic ad-movie is campy, but not camp in the strict Sontagian sense. It's silly, but deeply aware of its silliness. It's escapist in a moment when distraction from the world's realities can be a rare commodity. Go to Full Review Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle Dec 14, 2020
3/4
Lopez is the most respectful fake Sanders yet, giving "Recipe's" least soapy performance. He brings a stoicism and a bravery to the character, who can head-butt a guy without disturbing his own horn-rimmed specs. Go to Full Review Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings Dec 22, 2022
[A] brazen hybrid of marketing and entertainment that weaponizes camp and irony in order to anthropomorphize a multi-billion dollar corporation in the form of a disturbingly sexy mascot who winks at the audience to let them know he’s in on the joke.

At the end of it, if nothing else, I should've been hungering for chicken. And I wasn't. Go to Full Review Korey Coleman Double Toasted Jan 20, 2021
A soap satire, where the shorter the better...the trailer works better, to be honest with you, but it's just 15 minutes and you will get a couple of chuckles from this. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Matt R @RT11203953 Jan 8, 2026 Bingo McMario fry’s up more than chicken. But this is not historically accurate. See more Armynurse68c G @RT35637713 Mar 28, 2024 To all the haters of this movie I say "Beat it crouton!" It's a pretty funny little film, take it as it is and not too seriously! See more Aiden L @RT21249920 Mar 5, 2024 A beautiful love story centered around KFC's very own chicken man. I mean, wow. I've been never seen someone so hot that I almost exploded! I must say, the villain was quite impressive. How could someone be so evil, yet so good? It's like the 4 years ago modern Thanos. I'd never rooted for a villain until I saw this movie. Although short, this movie perfectly depicts the true to life story of Colonel Sanders. 20/10. Secrets out, chicken man See more Michael S @Mike_Speziale Feb 26, 2024 Not sure how anyone could watch this. It's littered with plot holes and smacks of one of those fake productions from 30-Rock See more Mar 21, 2021 Phenomenal Movie 13/10, Secrets out chicken man. See more Feb 8, 2021 This movie was ABSOLUTLY horrendous, firstly this movie has a confusing and bad plot. For example why would a movie staring Colonel Harland Sanders be a love story when his actual love life was quite weird and would be interesting movie itself. His first wife got extremely mad at Harland and then tore down there house, sold there furniture and took there children. Next, the movie script was horrible if felt like the actors were just reading of a prompter and the acting didn't seem real. Plus the fact that the biggest things around Colonel Sanders was his "Secret Recipe of 11 Herbs and Spices" then why wasn't the movie about people trying to crack the recipe?! KFC shouldn't change the image of Colonel Sanders into a Action hero who does thing for his love but keep it as your old grandpa with the good food and who is probably racist. They shouldn't make Colonel Sanders as a man as Young and Handsome. They should let Colonel Sanders rest, and too take a lesson from what KFC says about there 11 Herbs and Spices that they haven't changed it, they should take that wisdom when it comes to Colonel Sanders don't change him from your grandpa with the good food.
