I have a love-hate relationship with Fann Wong. I love her skin color but hate her elusiveness. To me, there're no such things as a Celebrity in Singapore. C'mon, Singapore's way too small to attempt to be elusive and mystical. The probability of running into her at the public toilet is as good as running into an old friend there as well.
Anyways, about the movie.
The couple plays a 'pretend couple' attempting to use their relationship to spice up their popularity. Her for the sake of making more money to save her dad's factory (she's supposedly a malaysian from malacca) and he to win his father's favor again.
Not much meat to the story except to watch out for the chemistry between the couple. or is that all? not to me. i particularly enjoyed watching Hei Ren and Alice Lau as their devoted gay and idolising artiste managers.
Hei Ren has always been depicted as a macho big guy so seeing him portray an effeminate gay man was refreshing. Ashamed to say that I didn't exactly know of Alice Lau's existence before this movie, I was entranced by her dramatism that can only be in a Canto-opera.
Her love-smitten-ness towards her charge, that is Chris and great comic timing gave the otherwise 'good only for eye candy movie' the needed artistic value.
As for Chris and Fann? I only wished there were more sexy interactions between them cos at the end of the day, isn't this what the audience wants to see?
Bravos:
:) The cutesy image portrayed by Fann's character, Vickki. Didn't make me regurgitate despite it coming from a 38 year-old (yes, Fann is 38, darling!)
:) The supporting casts of the 2 artiste managers and Vickki's childhood friend, played by Saiful Apek
Boos:
:( The much touted fashionable wardrobe was not glitzy enough. C'mon! These are CELEBRITIES! Give'm more glamour!!
:( Sex quotient was extremely low and disappointing. I wanna see more sexy action between the love-birds.
