Too mundane and slow-paced...

Right, well I wasn't familiar with "I Have a Date With Spring" (aka "Wo he chun tian you ge yue hui") from 1994, despite having a big interest in the Hong Kong cinema. However, I was given a chance in 2020 to sit down and watch this movie from writer Raymond To and director Clifton Ko. And given the movie's rating, I must admit that I was having hopes and expectations for the movie.

However, "I Have a Date With Spring" wasn't exactly a movie that was aimed at me as the target audience. Sure, I sat through the entire movie, but I found the storyline to be somewhat trivial and mundane, and it offered very little enjoyable entertainment for me - truth be told.

The storyline failed to capture my interest, so the movie felt very, very prolonged, and it seemed that the story was getting nowhere at points throughout the course of the movie. That made is somewhat difficult for me to sit through the entire movie. But I managed to do so.

While the acting in the movie was good, and all the women in the lead roles were actually doing really good jobs with their given roles and characters, it just doesn't change the fact that the storyline was boring. And good acting can only do little to salvage a sinking storyline.

This is not the worst of movies from Hong Kong that I have seen, but nor was it among the best either. For me, this was a less than mediocre movie experience, and as such I am rating "I Have a Date With Spring" a four out of ten stars.
