Stephen Chow has made a career of these characters that start off on top of the world and then get everything taken away from them. This is one of his best in that category. Once the God of Cookery, Stephen Chow publicly humiliated and disgraced by a power-hungry disciple. He falls in with the street vendors and with their help, tries to reclaim the title he once held. The comedy is terrifically dead-pan, and Karen Mok is also hilarious in her supporting role. Seeing this film will lead you to more Stephen Chow films - he's that enjoyable to watch.
