Few drama and family titles spark as much curiosity as Contest. Below is a deep dive into what makes it worth your time. Led by Kenton Duty and Danny Flaherty, the film balances spectacle with character. Read on for the full plot overview, the cast and crew, critical reception, and answers to the questions fans ask most.
What is Contest about?
At its core, Contest follows a story that unfolds like this: Bullied high school student Tommy is suddenly befriended by his chief tormentor, Matt, the school's most popular student and star athlete. Tommy is suspicious, but is forced to accept the awkward friendship in order to enter a cooking contest with a big prize. And besides, it's so much easier to impress his crush, Sarah, when he's not getting beat up by Matt and his team. As the cooking contest heats up, Sarah sniffs out a conspiracy, but nobody wants to hear about it. Can Tommy trust his budding friendship with Matt or is it all a huge joke on him?
Rather than rushing, the film lets tension build naturally, trusting the audience to keep up. The tagline — "Some Friendships are an Acquired Taste." — captures that tone perfectly. For a frame-by-frame breakdown, the dedicated Wikipedia entry and IMDb trivia pages are excellent companions.
