Free Movie on Fancast: Kyra Sedgwick and Julianna Margulies in “What’s Cooking?”

A great ensemble cast has been assembled to take a look at multiculturalism in America as four different Los Angeles families have different holiday crises on Thanksgiving.

The Jewish Seelig family is forced to deal with uncomfortable topics when Rachel (Kyra Sedgwick) brings home her lesbian lover Carla (Julianna Margulies) for the occasion. Black Republican Ronald Williams (Dennis Haysbert) and his wife Audrey (Alfre Woodard) are making their preparations to host white dinner guests. Vietnamese immigrant Trinh Nguyen (Joan Chen) starts to realize that she does not know her children as well as she thinks she does when she finds condoms and guns in their belongings. And the Avilas are in for some turmoil when young Anthony (Douglas Spain) invites his cheating father to dinner without knowledge or consent from his mother Elisabeth (Mercedes Ruehl).

Directed by Gurinder Chadha (who would go on to direct Bend It Like Beckham two years later) and also starring Lainie Kazan, Estelle Harris, Will Yun Lee and Kristy Wu, What’s Cooking? is a touching dramedy that doesn’t shy away from the tensions and turmoil that many families face in this day and age.
