The postor of 'Your Peace or Mine' (1998) is quite misleading, it states with a big name UFO and BOB. But the fact is that this movie is nothing related to UFO. The only thing they would like to state is that it's directed by James YUEN Sai-sang who is the executive of UFO (United Film Organization). When looking at the casting, it seems quite attractive as it casts with Tony LEUNG Chiu-wai and Alex FONG plus Vivian HSU and Ada CHOI.

The story is talking about the things happened to two men, Wai (Tony LEUNG) and Patrict (Alex FONG) who works for the same company. Wai is a advertising man who has many loves. His specialty is to create new stars from up and coming artists. Each time he creates a new star, he falls in love with them. Each time it results in the woman, who crave fame and fortune, leaving him high and dry, breaking his heart each time. This time he is currently seeing two women, new stars Ah Yu (Vivian Hsu) and Vivian (Ada Choi). Wai's friend, Patrick (Alex Fong Chung-Shun) is a philandering playboy who is secretly loved by Ah Fun (Eileen Tung Oi-Ling) and Ah Mei (Suki Kwan Sau-Mei). However, both are driven to desperation by the playboy.

This is the third movie directed by James YUEN. His 1st direction 'Wedding Days, The' is quite good while his past movie 'Rumble Ages' doesn't work. This time James go back to his favorite type -- love comedy. The cooperation of WONG Jing and James YUEN is that they would like to have their best. Let's see if this works.

I consider this movie is more like in BOB production rather than Jame's YUEN element as from UFO. Desenly packed jokes is the trademark for BOB production. Most of them works so as to make it fun. In fact, James' script are out-of expectation at a certain extent. One of my favorite is the design for the suicide of Patrict who is quited by Ah Fun. It's quite calculated but it works very well.

In terms of the romantic part, James tried to put the effort to put his views about love into the movie. He tried to explain love as footall match. That's why he cast LAM Sheung-yee as Wai's dad. Wai and Patrick are the two poles in this romantic game. Wai is a guy who are too involved in every love but forget the efforts from the other side very soon. On the other hand, Patrick is a guy who just want to get his own enjoyment with no involvement. The girls around Patrick tried to change him or accept him but they leave finally. In presenting this, James basically can get the contents and present it. I think it works basically. But I think James can make it better if there're some more impressive sence on each love.

In terms of the performance, I think this is the part which shows its pitfall. It seems that James hasn't let the actresses to give their best. It seems that the girls are just for beauty and they haven't got stuffs for them to act. Personally I consider Vivian HSU can play a more important role.

Though it's a pitfall, but undoubtedly the performance of Tony LEUNG and Alex FONG are good which helps for improving the overall performance of the movie. I consider Alex FONG has more opportunity to act which he can perform well.

In short, I think James YUEN has done a good job in the director. About the screenplay, I think he can make it more entertaining and more impressive.
