All Stirred Up! (fr|Tous toqués!) is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Manon Briand and released in 2024.[1] The film stars Julie Le Breton as Sonia, a Canada Customs border agent who confiscates the contents of a car being driven by French chef Victor (Édouard Baer), only to subsequently need his help when her daughter Lili-Beth (Élodie Fontaine) decides to enter a cooking competition despite barely knowing how to cook.[2]

The cast also includes Sylvain Marcel, Dominic Paquet, Normand Chouinard, Michèle Deslauriers, Oussama Fares and Douaa Kachache in supporting roles.

Production

The film entered production in 2023, originally under the working title Le Chef et la douanière.[3]

The preparations for its release were complicated by the revelation of prior sexual assault allegations against Baer in spring 2024, with the producers deciding to proceed with the film's release while excluding Baer from its promotion.[4]

Release

The film opened theatrically on September 13, 2024, in Quebec.[5] It also screened at the 2024 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival,[6] where it was the runner-up for the Audience Choice Award.[7]
