But by the end, I felt that Lee had, so to speak, stuck a little too closely to the recipe: His movie is moderately enjoyable in a been-there, done-that sort of way.

Eat Drink Man Woman may not just amuse and entertain you. It's likely to make you very hungry, too-perhaps for more than food.

That guarantee of good taste is, finally, a bit of a downer; there are plenty of surprises, but no hint of risk.

Mildly charming.
