Chung seung wan siu

I watched half of Triumph in the Skies II, which had drawn me in before, so I had some interest in this movie. Being a "TVB" production, you'd expect some quality from it. Well, all the actors are there, but there wasn't a movie...

This film is a series of shorts about 3 + 2 couples. That is to say it revolves around 3 couples and there are 2 extras that are briefly shown at different points during the film and some how ended up also getting an ending. It's a bunch of short, disjointed scenes which briefly showed how 3 couples met up, a few romance scenes, 1 problem for each couple, and a resolution. The best way to describe it is 3 short stories and 2 one shots that they cut up and pieced together. They did a REALLY good job of condensing these stories into just a few scenes, but the rapid pace gave no time to have any emotional attachment to any of them. Stories are about the journey, and there was no journey. All of these stories could probably have been fleshed out and turned into 2 better, separate movies.
