COOK UP A STORM is a typical lighthearted comedy from China about a couple of rival chefs and their battles in a cook-off contest. A lot of the goodwill arising from it comes from the presence of the likeable Nicholas Tse in the lead role, and the way his volatile relationship with his father (played by a more-than-welcome Anthony Wong) pans out is probably the most interesting part of it. The battle-of-skills style comedy is quite predictable, although there's a lot of admittedly well-shot 'food porn' on display so foodies will enjoy it.
