Bakery Amour (2001)
Reviewed by: Inner Strength on 2002-01-14
Summary: Average
The first point I want to make, is that I really wish movie makers in Hong Kong would stop copying each other so much. What I mean by this, is that so many people are naming their movies in French. The script is not much better either, another romance film is all we needed. But there are advantage which makes this slightly better than I thought it would. Firstly, there is a real feeling of romance throughout most of the film, either meaning the actors were very good, or the script was more detailed than I first thought. Michelle Reis I must say seems to look more and more attractive, which helps cover up the poorer parts of the story. She is a good actress for sure, and I think she will become more and more popular next year too. Francis Ng hasn’t lost it either, his acting ability has always impressed me, and although this is nothing special for him, he still brings a great performance.
This is not one of my more favorable movies of 2001, but it’s not too bad.

Rating 2.5

(This rating is based on the years release and genre, I’m not comparing it to older or newer films.)
