#Cook Up a Storm It might just break the curse that any movie starring a member of the Kuaile Family is a guaranteed flop. Despite a somewhat eclectic cast, the film's true value lies in how it seamlessly channels the spirit of classic Hong Kong Lunar New Year comedies, even evoking memories of beloved films like *The Chinese Feast*, *All's Well, Ends Well*, and *God of Cookery*. The culinary battles are brilliantly shot with the rhythm and intensity of action sequences. With a simple yet heartwarming story, the movie is filled with joy, culminating in a festive ending that truly captures the spirit of the Lunar New Year.
