I love this movie, i think Sylvia is perfect to be a director. This romance movie is very tedious and every part linked the whole movie together. And finding Richie Ren to fuck herself in this movie is a brilliant idea~ lol. But if compare the 3 main actresses, of course i prefer Sylvia the most, Rene is the less as i felt like she doesn't have good expression at all. In another hand, our Malaysia Angelica does not disappoint us in this movie, but of course Sylvia won it all~

2010 valentines has came out with 2 love movie casted multiple celebrities, Hot Summer Days & Valentines from US. But quite yawning at this HK movie. First of all, the language that they speak, cantonese and mandarin has been mixed up like rojak.

The only part that i like would be the love story between Jacky Cheung and Rene Liu, the rest will be quite ok only. And oh, Angelababy's look in this film, i really 接受不到咯 ...
