Beery-eyed romance
DRINK, Drank Drunk is a simple love story about an attractive beer-promoter and a handsome chef.
Siu Man (Miriam Yeung) is good at her job because she can out-drink most of her customers.
However, she has lost her faith in men because they either treat her like a sex object or profess their love only when they are drunk.
Things change when she shelters a drunken Michel (Daniel Wu) whose French restaurant business is going bust. Before leaving her flat that morning, Michel cooks her a delicious breakfast — and piques her interest.
So when Siu Man learns that Michel is selling his business and going away, she offers to be his partner and reopen the restaurant.
And yes, they fall in love… and like in all love stories, they also fall into a problem.
This comes in the form of a sex siren who lures Michel away to run her chain of high-class eateries.
Directed by Derek Yee, this romantic comedy is nothing like Ang Lee’s Eat Drink, Man Woman. Most of its drinking scenes show the despicable side of bar-room habits where the Chinese think they are macho because they can guzzle lots of alcohol.
Still, Miriam Yeung and Daniel Wu hit it out well enough to get our attention, if not our sympathy, while Alex Fung is awkward in the comic relief role as Siu Man’s protector and admirer.
