Denna B.

The synopsis on the "Movie Details" tab is incorrect and refers to a 2007 Japanese movie of the same name. There's too many things wrong with this title to make it enjoyable. Unless the story was adapted from a novel, this movie is practically a scene for scene Chinese rip-off of the slightly better, Korean movie "Ditto". The menus are vertically oriented and use a handwritten style font, making it difficult to read. The subtitles suffered from a tremendously bad translation and if it weren't for a previous viewing of "Ditto", it would have been difficult to follow the storyline. The native language for the actors is Mandarin. Unfortunately, the audio engineers rendered the Mandarin language in stereo, while the Cantonese dubbed version was available in Dolby Digital 5.1. As for extras, there's a trailer for the movie, a "Making Of" feature (7:57 min) that is not subtitled in English and a text based "Databank" containing a synopsis and cast and crew credits. Not recommended.
