L² Comment: 

Basically this movie was filmed because of Wong Zho Lam popularity in the drama and as a host, therefore, pretty girls have to be there as his "gals"... but of coz, only those whom are not the TOP actresses acted in this movie. Overall the movie is just ok, predictable, not very funny though... a big surprise for me is to see Mui Siu Wai appeared in this movie :)

This is kinda different from Sammi's previous movie. Not much comedy from her side but Nick express most of it. The storyline is not bad and very special, love the part when Sammi cry and express her love towards her ex husband to Nick.

Even though Jingle tried his best to create another love story after being rejected by Sammi & Ritchie for acting into this, Eddie Yu & Angelababy didn't really helps. Well, who ask Sammi to give such a deep impression to the audience on the previous movie? Sammi good job :)

L² Comment:

The second movie is not as good as the first one, especially the comedy part. We all knows that Stephen Fung try very hard to direct a good film, but as a new director, he has to do something special out of it. The first movie did it, but the second one just only average, the only surprise is at Daniel Wu & Patrick Tse part. I hope the 3rd movie of Taichi will get better...

 It is actually not bad and kinda fun to watch this movie. A lots of new stuff was added in the movie and enlighten the whole story. Yuen Xiao Chao is cute as a sportman, but Eddie Peng is definitely a yummilicious guy that i was watching in the whole movie :) Love the story, can't wait for the 2nd movie coming soon~

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 ...
