Mind-numbingly
awful and without any redeeming qualities. Watching this film

Review
by Kozo: |
This disappointingly bad romantic
drama was produced by actress Cheung Man. Tony Leung Ka-Fai
stars as a poor mechanic who falls in love with gorgeous Wu
Chien-Lien. However, he's ultra-poor and hangs out with the
annoying Chan Bak-Cheung. Before he can get up the gumption
to confess his love, she moves away. Years later, he's become
rich and desirable, and Wu reappears. Unfortunately, she's
now married to the scummy Jack Gao. And even worse, Tony is
still hanging out the annoying (and now older) Chan Bak-Cheung.
Blaming this mess on producer
Cheung Man could be fashionable (she disappeared from the
entertainment scene within a year of this film's release),
but the problem with Dream Lover is really this: the
movie is crap. From top-to-bottom, this is a true stinker
that bores like you would not believe. Wu Chien-Lien's character
is subdued, and her usual screen charisma is missing. Furthermore,
Tony Leung Ka-Fai and Chan Bak-Cheung are waaaay too old for
their roles. Frankly, the idea that these are guys in their
twenties is completely laughable. One wonders what happened
to make the script so uninteresting and ridiculous. Thankfully,
the movie ends. If you're smart, you could hit "stop"
and end it sooner. (Kozo 1996) |
