Review & Critics

Fan's Review

NEXT - Not long after Lunar New Year, Tung, Long and Jim are separately fired by their employers. Under their good friend May's guidance, the three collaborate and open a bar, getting a first taste of being a boss. Later, Tung is suffering in between new love Evita and former love Alice; Jim falls for Miss Lan Kwai Fong Boy, who only sees him as a partner in an one night stand; May who has always had a crush on Jim couldn't stand seeing Jim suffer and expresses her love to him, only to be rejected; Long who has always had a crush on May expresses his feeling to her but is also rejected ......the four's friendship, love, career also face challenges......

Love AmoebaPI - May Ching has three 'boyfriends' (roommates, actually). Tung is the career minded account executive with a business minded girlfriend. Long is the slacker chasing a blind date over the Internet. And 'Brad Pitt' is the playboy who never sleeps with the same woman twice. When all four friends find themselves suddenly out of a job, they decide to open up a bar. In the course of setting up the business, the three boys reexamine their romantic life. Well filmed, but the story lacked bite, and the acting wasn't anything to write home about. The climax of the film also seemed to come out of nowhere. Judging from the name of the production company (_Film 100 Percent Limited_), the film was probably quickly put together to capitalize on the success of _Feel 100%_. Like that film's sequel, this film could have probably benefitted from more development time. Title refers to a Swatch style that plays a part in the film.

MDN - Tung (Chi-Lam), May (Amanda), Brad Pitt (Andy), and Lung (Eric) are the best of friends. They lives under a roof for many years and still keep their friendships together. Tung is a nice guy who have steady job and a steady girlfriend, Allison (Karen). May is the only female in the house, but was never treated like a woman, which she doesn't mind. Ah May has been secrectly in love with Brad, but noones notice. Brad is a sort of like a playboy who's never want a long lasting love, they calls him Brad Pitt. Lung is also a nice guy like Tung, he's good to everyone and usually chat with a woman named Joyce (Angie) on the Internet. The story has a nice starting, May; Brad; and Lung kepts telling Tung to to dumped Allison because she was being way too bossy. Alway calls Tung every morning to check what's Tung is wearing and what's he eating. Tung didn't listen to his friends and still keep his relationship with Allison. But not for long, until he met Evita (Annie), the steadiness in Tung dropped and he becomes a kid again with Evita. Meanwhile, May suggest to open a bar, and they did. When May hired a waitress, Boy (Shu Kei), Brad was all over Boy, he even gives the watch "Love Amoeba" that May gave him on his birthday to Boy. Lung couldn't stand it anymore, he ask Brad to tell May the truth that he don't like May. It turns out to be a big mess that they had to close down the bar and everyone went on their own ways. As time goes by, everyone moves out name the none of them contact each other anymore. Until one day when Tung met Brad on the street, and they also met Lung. That was when they comes together again. A reunion dinner was serve. They way Brad treated May was as usual as before which makes May feel very comfortable. As for Tung, he broke up with Allison on the night that they has to closed down the bar. Allison went on with her life, while Tung is still running after Evita, and finally...

骨 幹 紮 實 編 劇 見 功 夫 - 麥 耀 權
都 市 人 的 戀 愛 故 事 , 每 每 在 電 影 中 加 以 渲 染 , 以 致 流 失 真 實 感 , 然 而 若 不 誇 張 , 又 被 人 說 流 於 平 庸 , 缺 乏 高 潮 。

「 愛 情 AMOEBA」 明 顯 是 走 年 青 人 的 戀 愛 故 事 路 線 , 值 得 稱 讚 的 是 , 這 部 片 的 骨 幹 非 常 紮 實 , 而 且 言 之 有 物 , 既 能 剖 釋 時 下 男 女 的 感 情 問 題 , 又 捉 摸 得 到 潮 流 趨 向 , 算 是 近 期 青 春 片 中 的 代 表 作 。

對 比 起 「 百 分 百 感 覺 」 系 列 而 言 , 本 片 無 疑 優 勝 很 多 , 雖 然 主 要 場 景 不 多 , 卻 不 覺 沉 悶 , 對 白 不 流 於 粗 俗 , 而 且 有 的 頗 能 一 矢 中 的 , 倒 也 精 彩 。

故 事 中 的 男 女 感 情 , 錯 綜 複 雜 , 卻 能 有 條 不 紊 的 逐 一 解 開 , 更 加 證 明 編 劇 的 功 夫 沒 有 白 費 。

演 員 方 面 尚 算 稱 職 , 沒 有 誰 的 表 現 特 別 出 色 , 但 勝 在 每 人 都 恰 如 其 份 。

能 夠 在 廿 多 天 便 拍 攝 完 畢 , 而 不 覺 草 率 , 算 得 上 是 近 期 青 春 片 的 佳 作 , 相 信 喜 歡 此 類 片 的 朋 友 , 不 會 錯 過 吧 !
