With a marvelously convoluted plot and featuring plenty of slapstick action, Chinese Feast is essentially a kung-fu film with a tasty twist: the combatants battle with knives, not to carve each other up but to make exquisite culinary delicacies. The story's impetus comes from a long-standing feud between cooking schools and centers on an upcoming cook-off in which two master chefs compete to present the most delicious version of the Qing & Han Imperial Feast staples -- monkey brains, bear paw, and elephant trunk. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This had some funny moments in the film. Unfortunately the DVD I received had some scratches on it, so it would skip or stutter during play. The movie does start with interesting storyline build ups, but the ending, like a lot of Chinese movies, would rush to an ending. It is an enjoyable movie, but the middle of the movie does drag, and the competition at the end of the movie was not as exciting as I would have thought it could have been.

this might be a funny movie, but only for diehard Chinese movie buffs. The captions are so tiny you can't read them, and when the background is light, not at all, and what I could make out ws so badly translated it made no sense. Don't waste your time.
