A feel-good Xmass/New Year season movie with LOTS of great actors
The story here is very Hwoody, lots of ppl find their true friend/business partner and do business, or find their true love and happiness, start dating or marry during Xmass and New Year season. This is a classic "feel good" movie. On the plus side, it is not cheesy, and it is done well and tastefully, ppl go through real problems before they come together, and they overcome the problems and get closer.
The most fun part here is the actors!!!! there is a WHOLE BUNCH of really good and rather famous actors in here, so it is a pleasure to see them
None of the roles here are "bad", all characters are "from real life" and rather quirky but likeable. The acting made the roles really fun to watch. Thanks to the director for letting the actors ACT. THis movie was made before the poker face era...
It was sooo fun seeing ML from Tastefully Yours - wow what a great performance, ML from Spirit Fingers - nice acting here!, Grim Reaper - imo his best role I have seen so far, the best "expressing" - nice! and his love, the Maid, was amazing too! I swear I have seen her somewhere else but cant pinpoint... , ML from Walking on Thin Ice - amazing as usual, and has this most complex character - I love his roles, always different and creative, he is one of my fav actors! and bc of him, I decided to watch this movie
and ML from Undercover High School - wow if it is him singing, he has a really great voice, and I think his Manager is one of the dudes from Low Life etc
everyone so uch younger
and even FL from Practical Guide to Love was not her usual terrible acting, here it meshed well and she expressed more, FL from King the Land was present on screen a tiny bit and did a lot better job, more livelier than in King the Land and BonApettit Your Majesty, and the hopeless only-poker-face ML from Beyond the Bar got a tiny few very limited expression scenes but even he could convey some tiny emotion.
The last scene is a great example of why this drama feels so Kwood rosey glasses and how a drama can use even the worst actors - the two worst actors here just meet by chance in a hallway and exchange a few simple short meaningless shallow polite chit-chat sentences and he says go out with me, and then we have 3 minutes of flashbacks of them like 20m apart.... . Very simple. No complexity, no emotions,nothing to really act. Just put two bodies there and end on a very super artificially sweet unreasonable totally out of blue "happy end".
The complex roles and plots are given to actors who can handle it, like ML from Walking on Thin Ice and the Maid actress
This is a fun movie. All these actors were allowed to ACT, to EXPRESS and that is the best part and the most worthwhile part of this move, and that's why I gave it 8.5/10 and not something less
THis movie is just a great chance to see lots of good actors in one place, allowed to express.
