Story with much meaning and great performance
Nov 28 2003
Format:VHS Tape
You maybe can't believe that the result of mixing comedy and drama will be good,but this movie can show you and can make you feel that ingredient in human-being could make the well result of nice comedy drama!
The story could make you understand about the old thinking and the modern thinking that happened in a little family in Taiwan.The different kind of love could happened via different kind of unexpectable relationships.The goal of human life could be diffent depend in what kind of situation that they are in and also could make their life change forever depend on their decisions too.
The great performance of Wu Chien Lien(who played the second daughter of a cook in this movie)could reflect the character that she played very well.She can reflect the modern thinking of woman ,also in the same time she can reflect the old thinking about principle of family's life so smoothly.
This is really good movies with much of meaning and great performance that you can't miss!

Eat, Drink My Kind of Movie
Jun 21 2003
Format:DVD
I really enjoyed this movie for several reasons. First, I could watch a skilled cook for hours. The technique just fascinates me.
The second reason is that the actors created such a variety of personalities. I guess partly that's a product of the screenplay, but the actors had to have the skills and they do. Because the family is so close, the personality differences really charge the interactions. You become fascinated by watching how they will react to the situations and each other.
When the movie came out in the theaters, I admit I shied away because Asia sent all these "sensuality" movies out with the same hype. So, I just shrugged it off. But I've been renting a lot of Asian movies in the last year, and the number of choices at my video store is getting smaller. That is what made me give this movie a chance. And I'm glad I did.
