CookUp A Storm isn't bad, but it isn't good either. It's definitely a visual treat, with its extreme close-ups of spices sizzling in the kitchen, and the chefs' adept movements as they swiftly debone and toss a whole fillet around. But it really stops there. The film progresses and ends as predictably as expected. CookUp a Storm (2017) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

CookUp A Storm, Film Review Cook Up A Storm Nicholas Tse Jung Yong Hwa Face Off In Culinary Comedy South China Morning Post, Cook up a storm is a chinese movie directed by raymond yip and was released in 2017.. When i was a kid, i fully believed i could use my magic powers to cook up a storm. GXHL. A passionate quest for respect and family, with a touch of food porn. “Cook Up a Storm” is a culinary comedy drama film directed by Raymond Yip Young Bruce Lee, 2011. With an experience that spans over 30 years, Yip has directed, produced and written numerous films and explored diverse genres, with horror and comedy being the predominant ones. However, “Cook Up a Storm” remains shallow in various ways. West VS East cooking A Cantonese style cook Sky Ko Nicholas Tse competes against a French-trained Michelin star chef Paul Ahn Jung Yong-hwa. Both have different cooking styles but they soon discover that they have more in common through their passion for food and their tragic life stories. A Shallow pie The initial encounter between Sky and Paul sets their differences immediately. Their rivalry emphasizes the obvious connotation of Western vs Eastern style of cooking embodied by the main characters. As the film introduces us to their cooking world, mouth-watering slow-motion and close-up shots of food delight us while both chefs compete against each other and explain their dish. The latter explanations are a foodie’s cherry on top; one can understand what they are actually preparing and enjoy it from up-close. The CGI added to the food, such as smoke coming from a freshly cooked steak, adds to the appetizing look of the food. Knife skills in action. Renowned actor, television chef and food critic, Nicholas Tse is an excellent choice as part of the cast, not only because of his connection with food, but also because he is a great actor and he can exhibit his accomplished cooking skills in various scenes. Jung Yong-hwa’s casting selection is doubtful, as his character seems to be extremely frozen’, almost emotionless. The dubbing of his voice does not help either with his acting. As he is a well-known Korean idol, this could be a factor for his selection in attempting to attract international young spectators. However, his lack of character development in the film, fails to make us empathize with him. Furthermore, the film has several sidekicks, such as Sky’s childhood friends, who seem to be there to support Sky, but, in effect, they are useless. These friends do not add anything to the main story and their stories are not further developed; they remain shallow. Film poster Another flat story, believe it or not, is the main storyline. What starts as a comedic food porn paradise turns into a story that does not address the depicted issues. Sky’s old neighbourhood is about to be demolished, but somehow it depends on him winning the competition to save his neighbourhood. This problem is almost forgotten by the other characters and it is easily solved at the end without any climax. This fake’ problem does not incorporate anything new nor any tension. Nevertheless, the film distract and entertain us with magnificent food shots, making the time pass quickly. On the other hand, magnificent is not the word I would use to describe the CGI of the décor and the set itself, as it is visibly fabricated and exaggerated. For instance, the neighbourhood, which should be a long-established one, looks noticeably new and arranged to look antique. The dessert “Cook Up a Storm” combines two hot topics of the moment, but fails to deliver an in-depth story and remains shallow. However, it is entertaining and brings culinary shots to another level through the use of isolated slow-motions with a picture perfect background, lighting and carefully crafted close-ups.

But as the movie began I was getting frustrated, because the story had no sense from the beginning it is like from a children's book, and don't get me started on the I quickly figured out that it is probably meant to be watched with a lot of humour, so I continued to watch it laughing at the stupid scenes and really enjoying the pure cooking the movie has some of the best sound effects and CGI I've ever seen. Purely from that point, I loved summary, horrible story and scripts, but amazing sound effects and 3, 2017Contribute to this pageSuggest an edit or add missing contentWhat is the English language plot outline for Cook Up a Storm 2017?AnswerEdit pageMore to exploreRecently viewedYou have no recently viewed pages
