Happy Family (2002)

Summary: Predictable, Why Bother?
What was Cecilia Yip thinking when she decided to take part in this movie? She's great here, but not even her flawless piece of work can save this movie.

A predictable story about affairs and possible incest. Am I the only one who was able to figure out the whole movie as soon as Nick Cheung found out Candy Lo could be his sister?

Chemistry-wise, Nick and Candy had no spark. Candy looks a little spooky at times, like she belongs to a cult. Cecilia and Kenny Bee are cute as the attention-craving couple, but only when they share scenes. Separately, Cecilia is the one that shines, the scene stealer of the whole movie.

Lastly, what's with putting the real ending after the credits? Do filmmakers really expect viewers to sit through plain boring credits with no deleted scenes and all? But honestly, even if you missed the end, its not a big loss.

Rating: 6/10 (without Cecilia Yip, I'd give 3/10)
Reviewer Score: 6
