Scooby-Doo! and the Gourmet Ghost

Fred's uncle being ***Bobby Flay*** is a crazy piece of lore to casually drop at the start of the movie. The ghost was actually kind of interesting, but that was undermined by Amazon showing a photo of the unmasked villain when I clicked on the movie to watch it. Chef Sue the sous chef was frightening. > (3/5, originally reviewed 8/6/24)

I don't know, they are referencing celebrity chefs... I kind of expected more parody here. It's not a necessary thing for Scooby Doo movies to work, but when you start talking about Celebrity Chefs, you at least expect a few digs at Hell's Kitchen... not to mention all the others. If Ravencroft can be a thinly veiled parody of Stephen King... they could throw a punch or two at good old Gordon Ramsey. The humor isn't bad, but, really, REALLY, you were expecting a parody in the same vein that they went after Aliens, National Lampoons Vacation, and so many others. So in the end, it felt kind of flat.
