FANDOM NAME: Cook Me Up A Storm (2017) WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Do you like shows about cooking? Do you like cooking competitions? Do you want to ship the two main characters like me with a passion of a thousand suns?
This Cantonese movie is basically “Shokugeki no Soma” come to live-action, but it’s still so good. If you don’t know what Shokugeki is, it is basically an anime where there’s tons of emphasis on the food and how it’s cooked and enjoyed. The food made in this movie is absolutely mouthwatering, and the chemistry between the two characters above is amazing. The premise of the movie is that these two characters are completely different in their lifestyles, their upbringing, and most importantly their food. The one on the left makes fancy, learned in a culinary school kind of food while the one on the right makes food he learned from home, and he cooks in a restaurant everyday and the locals love his food. And without getting too spoilery, while the movie starts out with them as rivals, they eventually become close. And the best part, is that while this movie focusses a lot on the food, it also has a LOT of heartwarming moments and character growth for a lot of characters in the movie. The end was absolutely amazing, and the friendships between some of these characters are so beautifully painted. And amazingly, this movie did not have anyone end up in a relationship, which I rather quite enjoyed (even though I ended up shipping these two so hard near the end.)
