Rice Rhapsody (2004)

This film was announced by Sky some many months ago but only landed in their schedules in a late night slot a few days back.  It's a strangely mixed concoction as a joint Hong Kong/Singapore production (Jackie Chan is for some reason the executive producer), with a Taiwanese lead actress, and the dialogue in Mandarin, (somewhat broken) English, and French.  Set in Singapore it is the story of a single mother who runs a restaurant and her three grown sons, two of whom are already in gay relationships.  Hoping to "save" her youngest son from the same sorry fate (in her eyes) and to ensure that she will one day have grandchildren, she tries to tempt him by taking in a French exchange student.  Despite his tentative sexual adventures with the young lady, all it takes is his best friend's leaving Singapore for Taipei to make him aware of his true sexuality.  Mummy is very unhappy...until she finally learns to accept her sons for what they are.  As a side note, this is meant as a "foodie" movie since the mother is being courted by a rival restaurateur and the climax of the film involves a cookery contest; however unlike movies like "Babette's Feast" or "Eat Drink Man Woman", there is little here to attract the jaded palette.
