Price:US$16.99
A feature film headlined by ubiquitous and diminutive Hong Kong entertainment personality Wong Cho-Lam. Writer-director James Yuen's Short of Love is in some ways a throwback to star-driven romantic comedies from the late eighties and early nineties, offering a tried-and-true commercial storyline about a super-rich playboy wooing a number of impossibly gorgeous starlets. Wong stars as Jack Lam, a self-employed stock trader who keeps his fortune amidst the 2008 financial tsunami, but loses his gold-digging girlfriend Lily (bikini model Chrissie Chau). Now without a main squeeze, Jack meets the helpful and super-cute Angel (model Angelababy), who advises him that he should learn to help others instead of just helping himself. The idea is that a revamped, selfless outlook on life will lead Jack to newfound success with love. Jack agrees to become a good guy, whereupon his life does a 180 and he's showered with opportunities for love, Jack does get plenty of chances with the ladies, but everything seems to happen arbitrarily and not necessarily because he turns over a new leaf….
