Chut sui fu yung (2. Watch Holiday Breakup Full Movie here. There's just nothing fantastic about writer/director Jeff Lau's new romantic comedy- which is probably better known as the Gillian Chung movie whose release got delayed for two years after the infamous Edison Chen sex scandal. Yes, sitting on the shelves of Emperor Motion Pictures, it has finally seen the light of day- though judging by how shockingly inept it is, it would probably have done better to remain in cold storage.
To be fair, the movie begins promisingly enough by introducing us to village girl Gillian (yes, they couldn't come up with a more inventive name for Gillian Chung's character) raised as an orphan by the closely knit Cheung Chau community. After being dumped by her boyfriend in front of an audience of her schoolmates, Gillian tries to commit suicide but miraculously survives- and thanks to some local legend about the Water Deity, she believes she has acquired supernatural powers. In order not to make her more upset, the rest of the community decides to indulge in her fantasy, so they simply do what she says to their best abilities. Along a crowded street market, one man faints on command, another eats a strewn packet of noodles on the ground and yet another pregnant woman tries to suddenly go into labour- talk about community spirit. This is also one of the film's funniest sequences, and if you don't think you're likely to find such manner of slapstick humorous, then you might as well skip this altogether. Those who think they may appreciate some 'mo lei tau' comedy courtesy of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes", "A Chinese Odyssey" and the most recent "Just Another Pandora's Box" director Jeff Lau can probably stick around for the first half of the movie.
Though nowhere near as funny as these other movies, Lau still makes use of the Cheung Chau setting to derive some good- natured humour that you'll find yourself chuckling to. Most of these consist of the fish- out- of- water situations that champion swimmer Chi Yuen (Alex Fong) finds himself in after being kidnapped by Gillian to teach her swimming. Why? So she can get back at her romantic rival in the upcoming "Asia Water Babes Swimming Competition". It doesn't sound particularly convincing, nor does the movie make any attempt to make it any less ludicrous than it sounds, but to nitpick at such details in a Jeff Lau film is really missing the point.
Still, what generosity one affords to suspend his disbelief is quickly exhausted in the second half of the movie. It is as if Jeff Lau has suddenly lost interest in the various characters, supporting characters and subplots he took effort to set up in the first half of the movie. Indeed, this second half is no more than a lazy and half- hearted attempt at milking every cliché one can think of in romantic comedies, albeit at twice the speed and not even half the finesse.
