![]() ![]() And the characters in the movie don't have an ounce of likability about them, so you don't really care about their struggles, victories and personal hardships. ![]() It made for the most pointless and inadequate of story lines that I have seen in a long, long time in an Asian movie. This movie is about pretentious chefs and their lust to prepare equally pretentious dishes that no one cares about. I just couldn't take anymore of it of the sheer and utter boredom that was trotting on in a very monotone pace on the screen. ![]() Granted, I gave up about after about around 45 minutes of watching the movie. The storyline in was so weak and almost non-existing that it was excruciatingly boring to sit through the movie. But that was essentially the extend of anything even remotely good about the movie. So it was actually a nice surprise to see that Anthony Chau-Sang Wong and Nicholas Tse were in this movie. And I didn't even know who was in the movie. I had no idea what it was about, aside from something revolving around a food theme, based on the movie's cover. It was my fondness of the Asian cinema that made me pick up "Cook Up a Storm" (aka "Jue zhan shi shen") the moment I found it, and I had never heard about the movie prior to finding it.
