My Comments: Today both of us are on leave and therefore we have taken this golden opportunity to continue to watch the Chinese New Year movies. This time around, we have chosen Paradigm Mall as our choice and of course GSC Paradigm Mall as our choice. This time around, we have chosen to watch I Love Hong Kong 2013 movie. This movie is definitely a star studded movie as it features tonnes of TVB artists from Alan Tam, Veronica Yip, Natalis Chan, Eric Tsang, Stanley Fung, Bosco Wong, Michael Tse, Kate Tsui, Joyce Cheng and many more (just to name a few). This movie talks about a story of a restaurant owner whose changing hands several times because of debts and how they help each other in securing back the restaurant without other bad parties taking over. This movie can be considered as moderate this year as I could see the jokes are pretty funny especially when they make fun of the English words but other than that, the jokes are just normal and nothing special about it. The storyline is very meaningful and I learned some good moral values from this movie such as "If You Help People, You Will Get Good In Return.". Kate Tsui, Bosco Wong and Michael Tse is the main actor and actress in this movie and their acting is good. I would not say that this movie is really funny but there's something to laugh for especially when they speak broken English and that would definitely laugh out loud. The theme of this movie features a 1970's costume theme and it was pretty good too. 

Compared to last year, I Love Hong Kong is not as good as last year and I still prefer the last year production than this year as it contains more jokes that would support the movie very much especially when you watch it during Chinese New Year where we want laughter and happiness. However, I would say it's above average and it's still worth of watching but do not put a high expectation on this movie. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3.5/5
