L-O-V-E ... Love
Director: Matt Chow
Year: 1997
Rating: 6.5
Ok , I will confess
straight out that I rented this only because of the plethora of attractive
females on the video cover. And the film comes through in this regard in
spades. It is the HK beauty pageant and we get lots of shots of girls in
bathing suits. There are of course the obligatory dweeby guys chasing after
them. There are some amusing bits such as when they have the contestants
jump and down and their body padding falls out to the floor - this consisting
of rolls of tissue, vegetables etc.
The main plot line revolves around the ever
fascinating Hsu Chi as one of the contestants who pretends to be a perfect
upper-class lady, but whose real working class character comes out at a Pattaya
gambling spot - and the rich guy pretending to be poor who is wooing her.
Fairly mediocre film with the exception of watching the myriad expressions
of Hsu Chi. Her face fascinates me. Vivian Hsu. Angie Cheung, Teresa Mak are
in this as well which is a plus. Nat Chan, Jerry Lamb and Eric Kot, not so
much. An easy to digest snack of a film.
