Happy Family (2002)

Summary: Hmmm
Well, considering I wasn't expecting much from this romantic comedy (yes, another one), it's certainly not as bad as I expected. However, that's not to say it's particularly good though, as in all honesty the film is about absolutly nothing. Which is the biggest problem, 90 minutes of nothingness! However, unlike the majority of HK films, this doesn't beat about the bush when it comes to starting, because it jumps straight into the story within the first 2 minutes, just a shame the story was bad.

Kenny Bee has a much larger role in this than the recent 'Chinese Orthopedist and the Spice Girls', which is good to see him back, because I can see him retiring at any moment now, unfortunatly. His performance is okay, but with stupid comedy scenes he doesn't look right. Nobody else dos much better either though.

If you like youth orientated films with lots of canto-pop, young people jumping up and down, and lots of 'unfunny' jokes, then you will probably find it harmless enough. It's certainly better than 'Marry A Rich Man', although parts of the film are exactly the same as that.

Nothing new, but harmless enough.
