    A little disjointed

    The target demographic for this movie is probably adolescents and those who fondly reflect upon the good old days of their summer time youth. Although it's not really a comedy, there are a few laughs. And the music is generally relaxing and upbeat. The acting, directing and cinematography were very well done. As expected, Anthony Wong plays his usual silly character. And the relationships are sweet and romantic. The ending is a bit odd as there's an unexpected cameo by a well known Asian actress and a weird conclusion to one of the relationships. Overall, this is a pleasant, easy going, romantic story and is safe for all ages. There is a problem with selecting a language in the Setup menu as you'll have to press your DVD's "Menu" button to exit the Setup menu. The Dolby Digital 5.1 audio option made good use of surround sound. As for extras, there's a trailer for the movie and two short music videos. Lightly recommended.

    Good film taken from a youth perspective that touches not only on love but also regret. This is almost like an art-house film in that it moves slowly and revolves around everyday interactions. Shawn Yue, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung and Anthony Wong perform well in their roles.

    Yes   |   No
