What’s Cooking 2000 Trailer HD

Amidst the drama of What’s Cooking? lies a brilliant concept for a Thanksgiving tradition: four interconnected families from different cultural backgrounds (Latino, Jewish, Vietnamese, and African American) gather each year, with each family putting its own unique spin on both the traditional elements of Thanksgiving dinner while adding distinctive extras. British director Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham, Bride and Prejudice) grew up in Kenya to Punjabi parents, while her Japanese-American spouse co-wrote the movie. The two clearly know from blending cultures in food and family, and it shows. The cast i, as well: Mercedes Ruehl, Kyra Sedgwick, Joan Chen, Lainie Kazan, Julianna Margulies, Alfre Woodard, and Dennis Haysbert among other big names.
