My Comments: Today ME & Kimmy had planned to go 1 Utama Shopping Centre again to shop for new shoes. In the same time to utilize our time there, we have planned to watch a movie there as well. We have selected The Midas Touch (超級經紀人) as our choice. Starring some famous Hong Kong TVB Artists such as Chapman To, Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung and Nicholas Tse, this movie set to be a funny but more into the gangster type of movie. This movie showcases the boss (Chapman To) who is a debt collector and one day while he was collecting debt, he then met this guy who are unable to pay the debt but he kept 8 pretty girls and they are for sale. So Chapman To grab this girls and turned them into singing artists and becoming a singing industry boss. Will he succeed turning the 8 famous girls into a group of talented singers? You have to watch this movie. The storyline looks to be pretty straight forward with good moral value in this movie as well. It has funny scenes to be watch but not too much either. I would recommend you to watch this movie. Not to say this movie is the best but still can be watched. Enjoy! MY RATING: 4/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5
