The Day that Doesn't Exist (1995)
Reviewed by: jfierro on 1999-12-21
It's too bad this third entry in Wellson Chin and Abe Kwong's "date" series decided to deviate from the offbeat plotting of its superior predecessors, THOU SHALT NOT SWEAR and THE THIRD FULL MOON. Instead, it relies on the recently overused trend of lumping together mediocre short stories of the supernatural, in this case tied together by goofy policeman Wong Chi-Wah. At least the cast delivers. It's always nice to see Sheila Chan in a leading role, and Anthony Wong is genuinely sympathetic as a father desparate to return to the body and family he left behind after a car accident. It's a reasonably diverting movie, but doesn't belong in the "date" series.
