Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com Taken as a whole, it's as trivial as anything in the Guiness Book of World Records. Rated: 43/100 Jan 10, 2011 Full Review Kam Williams CNA Newsworld A brilliant examination of Chinese culture and cuisine which subtly uncovers a telling microcosm of the myriad contradictions that the communist nation has manifested en route to its embrace of elements of capitalism. Rated: 4/4 Feb 1, 2010 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an interminable misfire. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 17, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Not quite what I was expecting; I thought there would be more about the food, and interviews with the chefs would have been appreciated. Still, it was very interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
