I Love Hong Kong (2011)Director: Eric Tsang, Chung Shu Kai
Writers: Wong Yeung Tat, Heiward Mak
Cast: Ensemble, too many. Sandra Ng.
Chinese Title: 我爱HK开心万岁
This Chinese New Year film with a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE ensemble cast is bound to make movie goers laugh and have a good time.
Plot-wise, this film is generic and... sucks. I am getting sick of Eric Tsang, he does a bad job at directing and also acting. Anyways, after 2010's 72 Tenants Of Prosperity, we have this follow-up, which has basically the same idea. So nothing new here. Lots of laughs delivered by the talented cast (except Eric Tsang and a very annoying guy with a mole).
Sandra Ng, who i love, i think left the All's Well Ends Well franchise to do this film, and did i good job. There are LOADS of cameos and a very impressive ensemble cast that make this film worth watching. The parodies are hilarious, especially the ones that parody the TVB Show No Regrets, which was very popular. The cameos were lovely, short and sweet.
There's a lot to complain about the storyline but i'll not get into that. The flashbacks were unnecessary and i felt that the film should've ended earlier than it did. There is also a very lame but addictive "I Like Hong Kong" song that accompanies the film.
Dancing at the end - bleurgh.
3/5
