100% Feel

Cherry (Sammi), Jerry (Ekin Cheng) and Lok(Eric Kwok) have been best friends ever since secondary school. They made a vow that they could never ever fall in love with each other. After finishing off school, they still remained close and kept in contact in with each other. Cherry has maintained single while Jerry has had several flings. However, these casual relationships came to an end with the appearance of Fong Fong (Gigi Leung). Jerry was sure that she was the girl of his dreams and rated her as being 80% perfect for a girl, while he only gave Cherry 60%.
Cherry’s opportunity came when Fong Fong won a scholarship to go to Paris to study fashion design and decided to go. Thus, she broke up with Jerry as he was not willing to wait for her.
At the end of course, Cherry and Jerry got together.
I thought Sammi did a really good job in this, it could be because of the fact that the role Cherry seemed to reflect her personal character and that is why she played out the role really well. I found the film to be very humourous thanks to Cherry’s arrogance in the film.
I would recommend this film to young adults because it deals with youth issues and relationships which is very enjoyable to watch.

Feel 100%...Once More

In this film, Yen (Sammi) and Marco(Ekin Cheng) are a pair who thought their relationship was stable and nothing could come between them. It was because of the fact that it was too stable that caused them to feel dull about their relationship. Hence they decided to take a trip to Japan together to inject some life in their relationship and to understand more about each other. However instead of becoming more aquatinted with each other, they had a conflict due to personality crash and petty fights over things like Yen stealing the hotel towels and him calling her cheap. As a result, Yen returned to Hong Kong while Marco remained in Hong Kong. Marco then met up with Gobby (Suk Jeng Yau), a model from Hong Kong and became friends with her. When Marco returned to Hong Kong, he coincidently met up with Gobby again and started to date her. Yen still has feelings for Marco and became very jealous of Gobby because not only did she take her boyfriend from her but she also took her good friends Emma (Gigi Leung) and.
However, at the end, Yen was still able to reunite with Marco as Gobby died from heart disease.
Although I thought this film was quite entertaining, it still wasn’t comparable to 100% Feel. Everyone’s acting was equally great but I thought Suk Jing Yau’s accent was really annoying. There were several scenes where Yen created humour in the film but Tat Ming Cheung should be given the most credit for making the film interesting and funny.
Overall, I would recommend this film if you haven’t seen 100% Feel but if you have, there really isn’t any point in seeing it because it has practically the same storyline.

The Lucky Guy

Shui (Steven Chau) works in a small cafeteria and has a reputation of being “Prince of Egg Tarts”. He is seen by his colleagues to be a fatal attraction for girls of all ages but this is not actually true because he pays girls to put up an act in front of people so that he can have face. Basically Shui is always trying to appear cool and popular in front of people. In one situation where he got bitten by a dog, he had to go to hospital to be treated for rabies. Coincidentally, he met his old school mate Candy(Sammi) at the hospital as she was a nurse there. Although he has secretly admired her ever since secondary school, he tried to avoid her, even she called out to him. It was very obvious that Shui was the Shui that Candy knew back from school but he still resisted to identify himself as he could not face her after having embarrassed her in front of the whole school. After he confirmed that Candy was no longer angry at him, they became friends again and started to go out together. It was only during one dinner that Shui found out that Candy was still very angry at him as she took revenge by playing a trick on him and which embarrassed him in his area of work.
In the end, when Candy found out that what Shui did to her in secondary school was an accident she forgave him and got together with him.
Given that Steven Chau starred in this, it is pretty obvious that it would not be an ordinary comedy. If you love to laugh, then this is the film for you because there are heaps of scenes that are really, really, funny. The scenes with Shui making exaggerated grand entrances accompanied by wind and flying leaves, his nerdy days back at high school, his denial of his identity in front of Candy, are all full of laughs and in some instances tears when it became too much to take.
Although Sammi’s role wasn’t very big in this film as there were a lot of famous stars in it, I would still strongly recommend this film to everyone.

Killing Me Tenderly

This film is about an obsessed fan called Jelly who kept sending obscene letters and items to his idol Cindy (Sammi) in order to express his affection for her. His affection for her was so extreme that he decided to kill her and then suicide so that they could be together forever. As a result, her manager Johnson(Wyman) approached the police to request for a bodyguard to protect Cindy. George (Leon) was selected but he wasn’t allowed to expose his identity to Cindy as his manager was afraid it would frighten her and hence affect her singing career. As a consequence, George had to pretend to be gay in order for Cindy to hire him as an assistant as she preferred gay employees. After a long time of serving Cindy, George fell in love with her but was not allowed to tell her that as he promised her manager that he wouldn’t make a move on her. After an incident where Cindy was in danger of being hurt by Jelly, George exposed his identity in order to save her. Cindy was angry with him for awhile as she disliked people that lie to her, but she forgave him soon after and they then became an item.
When Cindy held her first concert on stage, George warned Cindy that Jelly was around and to cancel the concert as she would be risking her life. But because of how touched she was by her fans and the fact that by leaving, it could ruin her singing career, she stayed to sing one song that she thought would put an end to her singing career. Not surprisingly, Jelly did appear and tried to kill Cindy but with one cool swift, George was able to save her and prosecute Jelly. Killing Me Tenderly is basically another version of The Bodyguard and so if you liked that film, then you’ll love this one. Again, this is yet another hilarious film as there are scenes where Leon was acting as Wyman’s boyfriend, and where he pretended he didn’t like Sammi which were really funny. In this film, you get to visually experience life as a homosexual as there are constant images and acknowledgment of them throughout the film. You will feel quite different about homosexual men as they are portrayed in a very positive way.
In all, this movie would be great if you enjoy comedy with a bit of twist.
