YesAsia Editorial Description
A deliciously romantic comedy, Magic Kitchen features the top-notch cast of superstars Sammi Cheng, Andy Lau, and F4's Jerry Yan in his film debut. Sammi Cheng portrays restaurant owner Mu Rong You who is well known for her superior cooking talent. However, it turns out she is only an average chef and all her supposedly original recipes were actually passed down from her mother. Outside of the kitchen, Rong You struggles in romance, as she wavers between her old love (Andy Lau) and her young assistant chef (Jerry Yan). Can she keep up her reputation and find true love at the same time?

慕容優（鄭秀文飾）是一間著名私房菜館的老闆兼廚師，雖然廚藝備受讚賞，但她有兩個不為人知的秘密。一，她本身對烹飪沒有獨到心得，菜館的所有菜式來自優的已故母親留下的幾本食譜；二，她深信自己的愛情受到詛咒，加上與前度男友（劉德華飾）的感情無疾而終，令她對咒語深信不疑。助手小可（言承旭飾）一直暗戀她，他不斷鼓勵優克服自己的恐懼，走出詛咒的陰影，自創屬於自己的菜式與人生。

Far from delicious
| My reason to watch is Jerry. He is the most popular F4 member yet with the fewest project, so I thought I would have entertainment from him with Andy lau and Sammi as bonus. I'm disappointed. There's nothing wrong with the acting in this movies. Jerry is as adorable as little rabbit as ever. Andy Lau being Andy Lau and Sammi is being Sammi. So does the rest of the strong cast. This movie proves that strong actors can't save bad script/weak plot. It's like the movie can't find what to focus on. The poster definitely misleading. It suppossed to be picture of Andy-Sammy and Jerry together. Not just Sammy and Jerry on front. Jerry's screentime is not much. The directing is not strong enough, the editor obviously finds difficulty what to bring out from what has been shot.Watching this movie feels like watching how celebrities having fun. And Jerry probably just curious of the experiences shooting together with big stars or Sammi is really good in persuading him. Imagine less fun Ocean movie with Chef as theme. |

pretty bad
pretty bad
| yeah, this movie isn't the greatest, and it's definitely not nearly as good as any of the other sammy movies. there wasn't enough character development (a story about 3 couples), and the relationship between sammy and her friends are quite unbelievable (and so developing that may be worthwhile). the attempt to relate cooking to personalities is too artificial. there was too little focus, i guess because it tried to describe everyone instead of just sammy. |

Major flop
Major flop

Here are the reason's why I bought this movie: F4's heartthrob Jerry Yan is in it 2) It's so cheap. When I got it, I ripped open the package to and immediately popped it in. Boy.. was I disappointed. You would think that with Sammi Cheng, Andy Lau, and Jerry Yan this would be a big hit! Unfortunately, there was no outstanding acting from ANY of the actors in this film. Jerry Yan is as adorable as ever, but that's all he is in this movie. A pretty face. It's not as funny as other chinese movies I've seen nor is the plot interesting. Take my recommendation and don't buy the movie. If you really must watch it, rent it or borrow it. Honestly though, I regret spending $8.00 **including shipping+handling** just for this movie. |

Well...
Well...
| I admit it's one bad movie, but I won't give it zero star. Hehehehe... First of all, don't ever adapt the idea of "Iron Chef" to a movie period. That show has its own clasification and it's just plain dumb to "steal" their idea. Next, I think after gazillion movies, Sammy should start considering to be more selective in her roles. Her character here, to me, is similar to her other ones in different movies like "Once Upon A Thief" or "Needing You". Storyline is weak, typical messy love stories. I do find Jerry Yan is cute in this movie, though his acting is so so, well, his role doesn't require a lot of work anyways. If you like to look at pretty actors and don't care about storyline AND have plenty of time in your hands, go see this movie. Other than that...you should be okay skipping it. :) |

It's an ok "rental"
| I bought this dvd and watch it once and will never watch it again. The movie's plot is weak and the acting is ok. Frankly, I think it's a movie to rent or to borrow from a friend. I still shake my head everytime I look at this dvd cover and think "WHY?!" So much talent for such a poor script and storyline. I am only giving it a rating bc I have bought it and watched all the way through. |
