Storyline

Reverend Brooks leads his small Iowa town in a contest to stop smoking for a month. But some tobacco executives don't want them to win, and try everything they can to make them smoke. If townspeople don't go nuts from wanting a cigarette, or kill each other from irritation and frustration, they will win a huge prize.

RTDaily Telegraph (UK)Mar 17, 2020

The special agony that grips Cold Turkey by the windpipe is how to stop smoking. And the film is funniest when it concentrates on that monumental exercise in will-power beside which the Perils of Pauline pale into minor irritants.

Stefan Kanfer

RTTIME MagazineMar 23, 2015

An extended sitcom loaded with the kind of jokes that induce canned laughter.

Irritation mounts as tiresome running gags run the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal into the ground.

The script for Cold Turkey is fairly ragged, but the movie deserves credit for its willingness to wallow in the murky depths of black comedy.
