Love is a virus. It incubates silently. It strikes suddenly. Its favorite breeding ground is small, crowded, claustrophobic spaces such as an office. Pearl, a marketing executive in her twenties...
It has been a long time I have not watch any new movie by Ekin Cheng. Infact I quite like his movies. Secondly is Karena Lam, I remember I watched a movie by her with Jacky Cheung (July Rapshody) which I liked a lot too. Since there are also other big cast such as Eric Tsang and Andy Hui in the movie, therefore I decided to give this movie a go.
When I was at the ticketing counter, I was quite surprise that there are more than 50% seats available for this movie despite this is a new movie. And the cinema hall used for this movie is very small. I didn't suspect much just thinking that maybe Wolverine, Fast and Furious 4, Sniper, Mall Cop and others beat this movie.
Finally is the movie begins.... with a boring starting about 5 colleagues talking in the car.... for about 15mins... Then the scene turn back to "1 week ago" .... go see doc... Then the scene turn back to "1 month ago".... talk talk chat chat drive car... Then the scene turn back to "2 months ago" talk talk chat chat drive car... and this continues for "3 months ago, 4 months ago, 5 months ago, 6 months ago, 1 year ago" where mostly are talk, chats, driving scenes. The talk and chats talks about a lot of things which are not related to their relationship (Between Ekin and Karena.... if there is even any relationship).
I tried to be very focus in this movie. I really don't want to waste my time and money because I believe every movie exist for a reason. Suddenly .... THE END... HUH??? I really don't understand what happened. There is no story line and the message tried to send out is not clear. Even for a moment I thought this is a ghost story... or maybe story related to recession... The movie description says that this is a love story... interestingly its the only love movie that I have seen which has no kissing or hugging scene...... actually don't even have holding hand scenes... just a bit of cries here and there.
I'm so dissappointed with this movie. I hope the cinema can ban this movie.... I consider this movie belongs to the trash bin.
