		Eat Drink Man Woman, derived from an original script by James Schamus, Hui-Ling Wang, and the film's director, Ang Lee, is much more satisfying as literature than it is as film.
		Actually, Jia-Ning is not the only sister whose routine is disrupted by a new man; Jia-Jen is suddenly pursued by a gym teacher and volleyball coach in her school, and Jia-Chien begins a scrumptiously close working partnership with a colleague who, as it turns out, she recognizes from long ago.
		Films like Eat Drink Man Woman really don't function too differently from pornography: in both cases, you mount some longing close-ups of either a process or an object that invigorates at least one of the senses, and you titillate the audiences with dish after dish (so to speak).

		Eat Drink Man Woman is a more accomplished motion picture than its predecessor - and The Wedding Banquet was good enough in its own right.
		The problems faced by the Chu family happen all around the world, and the difficulty of communicating across the generation gap is something almost everyone has experienced at one time or another.
		Nevertheless, as with The Age of Innocence, which displayed countless dishes guaranteed to whet the appetite, Eat Drink Man Woman could perhaps be frustrating to any who view it on an empty stomach.

	GuessTheGross.com's Eat Drink Man Woman Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		"Eat Drink Man Woman" is the story of Master Chef Chu (Lung Sihung) and his three daughters - Christian schoolteacher Jia-ning (Wang Yu-wen), aggressive airline executive Jia-chien (Wu Chien-lien) and the youngest, a fast food worker, Jia-jen (Yang Kuei-mei).
		The focus of the story is mostly on the relationship between the "problem child" Jia-chien and her father.
		Even though no one ever really eats it, the food looks so splendid and so delicious that it's understandable if your attention is diverted and the movie gets put on hold in order to order in.

		Even if it weren't a good movie, Eat, Drink, Man, Woman would still be a mouth-watering advertisement for Chinese food: The only way this film won't make you hungry is if you've gorged yourself on dim sum before you pop it in the DVD player.
		Recently remade with a Latino twist as Tortilla Soup, Eat, Drink, Man, Woman ultimately is a stronger film because it portrays its characters authentically, relying more on acting and less on cinematic shortcuts to tell its story of love, life, and deeeelicious dinners.
		And Sihung Lung is wonderful as their emotional center; he's a doting father mystified at how to communicate with these three headstrong women who happen to be his children, as well as a master chef who's lost his ability to taste the elaborate dishes he concocts every day.

		But "Eat Drink Man Woman" goes a step farther, using the preparation of food as a metaphor for the life experience as a whole, to include friendship and familial devotion, as well as desire, passion and love.
		Mr Chu lives to cook and cooks to live (being Head Chef in a city hotel) yet he cannot taste the glories that flow from his skill, for his sense of taste is blunted.
		The opening sequence in " Eat Drink Man Woman," in which a delectable Taiwanese banquet is prepared by a master chef, is guaranteed to make you contemplate the non-buttered popcorn in your lap and cry.

	DVD.net : Eat Drink Man Woman - DVD Review
		Delicious at every turn, Eat Drink Man Woman is a sweet Chinese film that centres around Mr Chu and his three wayward daughters.
		There’s a powerful statement here about moving on and leaving the past to itself, particularly in the brooding regret of the eldest daughter, holding a torch for the man who broke her heart several years ago.
		Eat Drink Man Woman is a well constructed tale that is told cleverly by Lee, with nicely positioned subplots integrated around each other in a delightfully subtle manner.

	'Eat Drink Man Woman'
		Coincidental romantic changes in all three women’s lives take effective care of the housebound woes: Jia-Jen (Kuei-Mei Yang), the pious, mousy daughter still mourning the man who jilted her nine years ago, becomes interested in volleyball coach Ming-Dao (Chin-Cheng Lu).
		“Eat Drink” follows an episodic, farcical course, as the women become involved with their respective men outside the home, then make bold announcements at Tao’s dinner table.
		Perhaps most memorable is Kuei-Mei Yang, as religious Jia-Jen, who brazenly tells her family that, not only is she seeing a new man after nine years of abstinence, she married him this morning.

		Eat Drink Man Woman certainly fulfills all of the clichés of the food drama.
		Tables full of symbolic and tasty-looking food, endless animal slaughter, a family full of misunderstandings and problems universal enough to be understood by all.

		She has a passion for cooking but is banned from her father's kitchen, wasting her potential as a great chef.

		"Eat Drink Man Woman" not only realizes the delicate and comforting nature of good, fresh food prepared with care, but also the way that it can bring people together.
		Although the commentary from Schamus and Lee on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a bit dissapointing at times, I would have liked to have heard their thoughts throughout this picture, but oh well.
		Final Thoughts: "Eat Drink Man Woman" is a charming, beautifully photographed and highly entertaining comedy/drama that definitely shouldn't be seen on an empty stomach.

		As much a comedy as it is a jab at the modern Chinese family (the problem being that it in many ways still resembles the "old" Chinese family)...
		Eat Drink Man Woman is overall an excellent film.
		However, it is interesting to note that the elaborate and well-shot cooking scenes overshadow the story -- not overtly, but rather in a subtle manner.

		When everyone eats well, communication is bad, real feelings are not expressed and so the family nucleus crumbles.
		Chu cuts up a large fish, smokes chickens and shapes, slices and fries all sorts of meat, vegetables and pastries with the minute and precise gestures of a true master of his art.

	Yinshi Nan Nu (1994) (aka Eat Drink Man Woman)
		The atmosphere, as they sit down to eat, is thick with tension and empty of the usual dinnertime chatter.
		Food substitutes for conversation (a poor swap) and the relief is palpable when Mr Chu has to rush to his hotel, where he wades into the crisis with the aplomb of a master surgeon.
		With banquets equal to those of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, scenes are bursting with gastronomic sensuality, vividly contrasting with the emotional sterility of the diners.
