DVD REVIEW:

It was a pleasure to see Maggie Cheung and Leon Lai together in this film.  Especially to see them in a movie filmed in the US (Bay Area).

The movie is really beautiful and was very entertaining to watch especially if you are involved in a dot.com.  Speaking of dot.com, how do you like how StarEast promoted their Website through the film?  Well, at least it was not bad as the advertising in “Juliet in Love”.

The story focuses on two characters who are totally different.  Maggie Cheung, plays a single mother who drives a cab, who wonders if she will find love again.  And the rich dot.com man played by Leon Lai who seems to be a party animal but that is where the problems lie in this movie.  For a mother who wants to make sure she doesn’t get screwed over by a man, why does she suddenly have a one night stand with a man she just met and that she knows is completely different from her and vice versa.

The movie is beautiful but it would have been nice if more was spent on the two characters.  The “forgive him” segment was pretty interesting!

Otherwise a cool DVD with cool video.  The audio is typical of dialogue and special features feature info. on the characters and nothing much really.

A cool movie worth checking out.
