Tropey, Campy, and Refreshing
What to do with a shy, awkward, maladjusted, misfit who has experienced recent emotional trauma?
In a remote outpost, working in one of the least desired positions, a novice kitchen warior tackles classic military tropes with an overlayof gaming quests. The Legend of Kitchen Soldier is light and deep, funny and entertaining. What could have been a gimmick succeeds because the actors and writers never treat it as one. Every scene, from military maneuvers to musical food fantasies, is played straight and with genuine heart.
