    Don't expect warriors,swordswomen,powerful swords and breathtaking flying scenes,this is not another Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon. This is Ang Lee's cinematic feast,a movie in which nothing really happens but a gentle,funny,sad,uplifting and of course mouth watering one.Senior Master Chu lives in a large house in Taiwan with his three unmarried daughters.Life in that house gravitates around the ritual of an elaborated dinner each Sunday-the only way he can show his love for them although his daughters consider this dinner to be torture. ''Eat,drink,man,woman.Basic human desires.Can't avoid them.All my life,that's all I've ever done.It pisses me off.Is that all there is to life?" Food for your eyes,true delight for your mind...don't see it on an empty stomach!

    As noted everywhere else, you may as well add the cost of take-out into the rental fee; eat quickly, though, as it may get cold as the charming and absorbing story unfolds.

    A few events and transitions seem a bit abrupt -- this movie could easily be another 15-20 minutes longer -- but the confident direction and quiet humor carry it over these minor issues. In the end, you'll feel (insert food metaphor here).

    This film makes me cry at the end every time I see it. It's deals with communication, respect, and quality of life. (T)

    I really liked this film. It made me want noodles really bad. Interestly play between filial relationships and expected societal places.

    A heart-warming and gripping storyline that has a good twist towards the end. It's not easy to have movies that tell stories of several different characters at once and yet still see the fullness of each individual.
