Watched this movie last week with my mei, xinyun. Well, I don’t usually watch a romance movie, and I don’t normally come out of one with praises for it. But I liked this movie a lot even though I originally didn’t expect much from it. (It’s that pre-conceived notion that all local productions can’t be too good.) I am not going to talk too much about the storyline since I would prefer you watch it yourself. However, the movie clearly shows that in a relationship, what is the most important would be communication. Had there been communication, Li-Ann (Wong Li Lin) would not have wasted many years waiting for her dream man Jeremy (Ananda Everingham). Had there been communication, Li-Ann and her step-daughter Dyllan would have cleared things up earlier. (For those who hasn’t watched this I’ll keep Joan Chen’s role in the movie a secret.) There are of course some lighter parts in the movie as well. The relationship between sidekicks, KS (Qi Yuwu) and Sunetta (Nadya Hutagalung), provided some laughter and breaks in between. I strongly recommend this movie, as along with 881, they showed that local productions are not all just about Jack Neo anyway. For starters, Jack Neo should learn some humility. After all, it’s not like all of his movies are that great to begin with. |
