Sinopsis:
Author: Harry T. Yung (harry_tk_yung@yahoo.com) from Hong Kong
Compared with the crafty English title, the original local title "Single men and women" is more lucidly and accurately descriptive. My summary line offers another angle – watching this rom-com flick is very much akin to watching a tennis match. Using everything they know about the game, the two players take alternative service games vying for the ultimate prize, the woman of their heart's desire. With delightful twists and turns, the match culminates in a cliff-hanger of a tiebreaker.
One thing you do not expect too much from a rom-com is unpredictability. The Jonnie TO and WAI Ka-fai veteran team-up, however, sprinkle their work as usual with unpredictability, not the kind of convoluted twists you find in a mystery thriller, but enough to keep the movie interesting. At the start it would seem that the financial tsunami of 2008 features significantly in the plot but soon it is apparent that it is only a plot element that is discarded as soon as its purpose is served. The woman meets the two suitors, separately, just as the global financial trouble is about to reach a meltdown. She soon loses contact with both of them. Three years later, when the financial world is well on its way to recovery, she meets them again. That is when the match starts in earnest. Nothing more needs to be said about the plot. Just a few words on the triangle.
GAO Yuanyuan, playing a financial market analyst, brings with her a touch of the small-town girl simple charm from Qing Hong ("Shanghai dream", Cannes Jury Prize winner in 2005), making her otherwise rather bland character very likable. Louis KOO gets an almost customized role, by profession a financial executive, by nature a "bad guy" (the sort that invariably has a magnetic attraction for nice girls), waving his motto like a protective force field: "9 guys out of 10 are womanizer and the 10th is considering the prospects". He is certainly not "no. 10". But at least he is honest about it from day one. Playing the polar opposite ("no. 11" you might say) rival is Daniel WU, a successful architect and the perfect guy in every girl's dream. Let the game begin.
The HKIFF program book introduces this opening film thus: "a pretty cast, clever twists, and a you-can-have-it-all brain candy". I'd buy that.
