Synopsis:
Director Patrick Kong have been far too predictable, his tale of love is rarely optimistic and almost always dreaded. True, Kong maybe correct to a certain degree when it comes to relationships, but this film feels far too contrived, far too manufactured and far too commercial for it to be even a tad enjoyable. With fresh faced, Kay Tse delivering an excellent debut performance, it is a shame that Kong never fully utilise the more interesting option, but rather spread his focus on three or four other stories, with a boring portion relating to the Paco Wong's combo in Stephy Tang and Justin Lo. It must be admitted that Kong is also fast becoming a cliche within himself, and with a quick glimpse of his past resume (i.e. Marriage with a Fool, L for Love, L for Lies, to name a few), they all seem to say the same thing. It is about time, that Kong goes for something different, fresher or if that is not possible, at the very least, do what he did in L for Love and L for Lies, by making a film more interesting than it should be....
