Instead of focusing on his studies to become an engineer, he goes behind his parents back and gets a part-time restaurant job to buy a motor bike and catch the attention of girls. However things begin to change when the first ever 'Auckland Metro Cooking Competition' presents an opportunity to change his life. The struggle to keep all sides happy leads Sid to question who and what is most important in his new life. A comedy mixed with some serious issues that made me laugh more than once. Very good dialogue soundtrack, although I found most of the music to be less appealing. Photography was also a bit off the mark in technical quality, but satisfactory. Recommended. Censor Rating: PG - Review rating: B- |
