Storyline:

In the comedy, three brothers reside in a home that they have inherited from their late parents. The eldest brother, Steve, is theoretically the man of the house but is constantly criticised by his two younger brothers, Bernard and Lung, for his decisions, the inedible meals he cooks, and his complicated romantic encounters. To prepare for a family reunion dinner, Steve seeks the help of Lung’s girlfriend, Josephine, and wins back their hearts for a while, until Monica, his former lover and Bernard’s new girlfriend, shows up. The unexpected visit of “Meow”, a web idol and Steve’s part-time girlfriend, further escalates the siblings’ conflict.

About Table for Six Movie:

Table for Six (Chinese: 飯戲攻心) is a Hong Kong comedy film written and directed by Sunny Chan. It was written as a sequel to the 2015 short film Table for Three. The film is centered around the classical Chinese motifs of shared meals and dysfunctional family ties. It was initially scheduled to be released on 1 February 2022, the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it was postponed until 8 September 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was selected at the 24th edition of the Far East Film Festival held from 22 April 2022 to 30 April 2022, where it had its world premiere and its nomination for Best Screenplay Award. Later it was also invited to the 21st New York Asian Film Festival in the crowd pleasures section, where it had its North American premiere on 23 July.

A thematic sequel to the film, Table For Six 2, was released on 9 February 2024 during Chinese New Year’s Eve.
