Bored judge Raymond (Ching Wan Lau) indulges himself in one-night stands and flirtations, causing his girlfriend Ah Qiu (Sammi Cheng) to leave him. Ah Qiu, a journalist, doesn't lose any time in falling in love with Keung (Louis Koo), a super-cop she is sent to interview. The only problem is that after a narrow brush with death, Keung is now unable to perform any conjugal duties. Raymond, on the other hand, meets his match in a spoiled 18-year-old (Charlene Choi).

This movie was actually quite hilarious in certain parts. Okay, the jokes about a certain male body part was off the scale. There is a part where they (Raymond and Ah Qui) try to help Keung and use weights to strengthen...well....THAT body part. LOL! It was a riot. I laughed so hard.

The story gets slow most of the time. This movie really had two stories but if they focused on Keung's story, it would have been even better. The story about Ray and the young girl was actually quite sick to me. So I rolled my eyes quite often when it came to them.

The movie was actually worthwhile. I'm not big on Chinese comedies but this has some substance to keep me intertained. Louis Koo wasn't so bad to look at either. Not the most handsome but nice enough for the story.

Why Me Sweetie? (Sat yik gaai lui wong / 我的失忆男友 -2003)

Starring:
Louis Koo - Dong
Tats Lau - Dr. Chie
Cherrie Ying - Ding Ding

In this romantic comedy, Dong (Louis Koo) has a mysterious amnesia that worsens every time he falls deeply in love. Because he can't remember details of his relationships, he also can't maintain the deep emotions he develops for a woman. However, persistent Ding (Cherrie Ying) cares for Dong so greatly that she decides to disguise herself as a new girl every time they meet. Will her ruse keep Dong interested until she can find a way to bring back his memories?



This movie is the original "50 First Dates" that was remade in America with Adam Sandler. With the exception that Dong lost his memories when he felt love from Ding Ding. He didn't wake up every morning having forgotten the previous days like Drew Barrymore's character.

I have to say the first half of the movie was way too cheesy but it started to get really good towards the end. It was a little "half-baked" at the beginning. Too hard to believe and it seemed to skip some relative parts that showed them getting close. Their love was a little too fast for my blood.

But it all worked out in the end. So if you want to see the parent of "50 First Dates"....go ahead. It won't ruin the movie for you since the plot is really different but the idea is generally the same. It was sweet but just a tad bit corny but then so was "50 First Dates" but this is Chinese style. LOL!
