Those Were the Days (2000)
Reviewed by: MilesC on 2000-08-26
Summary: Manipulative garbage.
Predictable, trite, simplistic, shallow, unbelievable... I've certainly seen more inept, amateurish films from Hong Kong, but this is one of the more bland, manipulative ones I've run across recently. OF COURSE any other man Gigi is involved with is a jerk. OF COURSE men and women will naturally fall for each other if left together long enough. OF COURSE sappy music will increase a scene's emotional impact. OF COURSE BOB is more interested in working in their routine cameos than making any of the events believable. This is a boring, unbelievable and uninvolving story told in an unfocused
and bland fashion. For Y&D completists only. BoB's new CG logo, on the other hand, is pretty slick.
