God of Cookery (IMDb:7.4|Rot:83%)

I've really enjoyed the two other Stephen Chow films that I've seen, so I was looking forward to watching God of Cookery. It is uneven, but has some good stuff in it. The plot is pretty weak (and scattered), but it's laugh-out-loud funny when it hits its stride in the final third. The quality of translation in the subtitles was awful— bad enough that it impaired my enjoyment (and comprehension) in spots. I'd say this one is worth watching if you really loved Shaolin Soccer or Kung Fu Hustle; otherwise, give it a pass.
