Love For All Seasons (2003)

Summary: No Love
"Love For All Seasons" is a poorly written romantic comedy that relies on one-dimensional characters that have little or no depth. They are placed in contrived situations and circumstances that push one's suspension of disbelief to the limit. The actors couldn't do much to elevate the fetid script.

"Love For All Seasons" is an example of what happens when the well runs dry. Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai try for all out zaniness to hide the lack of character development, using stereotypical roles of a rich womanizer (Louis Koo) and a martial arts master/healer in Sammi Cheng, throwing logic to the wind, but nothing clicks. There are a few chuckles in the beginning, but the movie wears thin with its tedious set ups.

Watching "Love For All Seasons" is like having to pour salt on an open wound. The viewing is a painful experience.
