One of the more romantic movies of the year, it's not as bad as some may say.
I admit that the whole movie didn't really work for me. However, it was still entertaining and lovely to watch. With Hong Kong superstar teen idols in the main roles, who wouldn't want to watch it? Takeshi Kaneshiro plays the all too farmiliar role of the quiet, shy guy. Then there's GIgi Leung who plays the all too ordinary school girl, who appears in a few unbelieveable scenes. There's also Karen Mok who does a good job with the role she's given.
The movie is sort of like 2 in 1. Slyvia Chang plays a writer writing a script with other people. Takeshi and the others play the characters in the script.
While watching the movie, I just can't seem to connect. It's no tragic love story like Shakespere's Romeo and Juliet, but it touches the idea and philosophy of love.
One of the things that made the movie pretty good was how most of the answers are hidden in the movie and script itself until it is all revealed in the end in a collage of memories and moment from Sylvia's past.
One of the things that I thought wasn't done too well was Karen's Mok's charcter. I would of liked to see her character develope more or to have her take more of a role in the movie. It could of added depth, but it ended up a typical first love romance movies.
All in all, not a bad movie. It's not a waste of time to see it,so I think that it's worth it to rent.
