I seemed to take forever to release on disc, it took half a year. I wasn’t super interested in it but it seemed like had quite a bit of advertising or news that made it more interesting and I looked forward to it a little.

Performances
Wong Cho Lam was the same, he was exaggerating everything, although he seemed to tune down a bit and the last story was alright to be a little exaggerated he could have done better. The best part of his was the theme song, really lovely.
Angelababy doesn’t have acting skills and didn’t even seem to be able to say her lines.
Race Wong must have worked hard on the dances, but they could have written more on this story, Race is not bad.
JJ Fatumai Jia Xiao Chen needs lots more improvement if she wants to continue filming.
Kate Tsui is the best out of all; the storyline was the best too.

Relationships
Wong Cho Lam had 4 main relationships with the previous 4 actresses.
First one Angelababy and throughout the whole movie, it was somewhat boring.
Second was Race and that is the ‘scary’ and ‘funny’ one mixed together.
Third was JJ and it was the most annoying one, mostly because WCL was being a kid and there wasn’t much to look forward to.
Last one was Kate and my favorite one. James Yuen wrote the ‘classic’ A Moment Of Romance and Andy Lau/Wah Dee. I never saw this movie before but from seeing this movie, the original scene, and hearing the song it does have some ‘classic’ feel to it. The parts where WCL and Louis Yuen imitate Andy were good too.

Maybe after the long wait and I didn’t have high expectations this was pretty enjoyable. Especially ending with the A Moment Of Romance, it made this movie feel more enjoyable, but considering just reusing this classic and the other story lines were not that interesting there isn’t much to this movie hence lots of people didn’t enjoy it.

My Rating: 6/10, won’t re-watch
