Summary: The VCD cover made me think is was a comedy!
I didn't read the synopsis on the VCD cover, so I assumed it was yet another low-budget comedy. Turns out it's an autobiography of Yuen Kai Chi, detailing his journey from being an award-winning script writer to what becomes of his career and life after a paralyzing car accident.
Athena Chu's performance was fantastic. This movie really gave Athena the opportunity to demonstrate that she can be casted in serious roles as well as the usual perky/giddy cute girl-living-next-door. Nicky Cheung was also given a break from his usual idiotic roles as the annoying friend/pest whom you just can't get rid of. In "Time 4 Hope", both actors performed well, building chemistry and a sense that "love can conquor all", regardless of how corny it sounds! Athena Chu's acting has matured a great deal, especially during scenes of fights and emotional distress between her character and Nick's. I think I'm becoming an Athena Chu fan!
