The movie tells the story of a flamboyant sous-chef who uses her culinary skills to win over a hotel-acquisition specialist who happens to be wealthy and handsome.
Critics Of "This Is Not What I Expected [Sub: Eng]"
Washington Post
May 04, 2017
From the sizzling griddle that opens the story to a hallucinogenic trip triggered by blowfish toxin, this engagingly goofy romantic comedy speaks the international language of food.
A quirky yet predictable film made special by its reverence for inspired cooking, the directorial debut of Hong Kong editor Derek Hui is more food porn than romantic comedy.
Between the food porn and all the scenes of the hunky Kaneshiro looking dapper in perfectly tailored suits, there is more than enough going on onscreen for audiences to drool over.
