Brand new “Hundred Stars Hotel” is a well-equipped five-star hotel located at Qiandao Lake, Hangzhou. However, this hotel is run by a group of incompetent staff including OK (Ronald Cheng) the Assistant Manager, Pacino (Chapman To) the Chief Bartender, Peach (Sandra Ng) the Head of Housekeeping and Sammy (Janelle Sing) the Receptionist. Rumor has it that a mysterious hotel detective will arrive soon and define the rating of “Hundred Stars Hotel”. In order to match the five-star standard, harsh Cruella (Teresa Mo) has been appointed as the Hotel Manager to restructure the hotel. Cruella takes the chance to develop “Hundred Stars Hotel” as the shooting location for a big budget movie. Two leading actresses Marilyn (Karena Ng) and Audrey (Lynn Xiong) stay in the hotel and they are arrogant and too hot to handle. OK is assigned to serve Marilyn and gradually Marilyn falls in love with OK. Meanwhile, Paris (Fiona Sit), the daughter of a tycoon and a very good friend to OK, is also staying in the hotel. Paris has to get married in order to inherit her father’s huge assets. OK finds a handsome but nerdy Security Guard Mark (Yu Bo) to be her fake groom and a fake wedding ceremony is about to begin. However, Peter Chan (Raymond Wong), Paris’ uncle who is also one of the heirs, is craving for the wealth and trying all means to ruin the wedding. When OK knows Paris will go back to U.S. for good after the wedding, OK finally realizes Paris is indeed the one he loves. OK proposes to Paris and Paris accepts, the fake wedding becomes a real one! Cruella and Peach suspect a countryman Jim (Jim Chim) is the mysterious hotel detective. They do their very best to please him with overwhelming services. In the meantime, the rest of the staff are organizing the wedding ceremony of Paris and OK, and protecting them from Peter’s conspiracy. Finally all of them discover that Jim is not the mysterious hotel detective but Mark, who joins the hotel as the Security Guard, secretly monitors the services of the hotel. Mark is touched by their positive attitude and classifies “Hundred Stars Hotel” as a Five-Star Deluxe.

My Comments: It was a great day for us today as ME & Kimmy had purposely selected Cathay Cineplexes at Damansara to catch a Chinese New Year movie of our choice. This time around, we have chosen Hotel Deluxe as our choice this time and here's our review towards this movie. This movie is talking about the modern hotel and their mission is to ensure that their hotel will be guaranteed a five star deluxe hotel to ensure more people started to known this hotel. Starring some famous Hong Kong artistes such as Ronald Cheng, Teresa Mo, Sandra Ng, Chapman To, Fiona Sit, Raymond Wong, this movie is going to laugh your heart loud and it's truly funny. Besides, the storyline is very good indeed with a happy and great ending and it's very suitable for the Chinese New Year theme this year. Mostly this is a comedy movie with a good storyline and Director Vincent Kuk did a very good this time to ensure it's audiences will not get bored during the movie and keep on laughing. The jokes are good and really quality too. The synopsis above tells it all and almost every part of the story. If you watch the previous versions of All Well End's Well version, you will simply love this movie as well as there's not much difference between these movies. I would recommend you to watch this movie and had a great laugh on the Snake Year. Enjoy! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
