YesAsia Editorial Description

Chan Hing-ka and Dante Lam's new film Love on the Rocks unfolds the everyday story of an ordinary man trying to secure his love. Louis Koo no longer portrays a womanizer while Gigi Leung also jumps out of the box to say goodbye to her girlish days. The two players simply present us a romantic comedy with an intriguing plot, distinguishing the film from classic Hong Kong slapsticks.

Clueless in romance, Ming (Louis Koo), a bank's customer relations manager, treats his girlfriend Annie (Gigi Leung) to a $58 hot pot buffet on Valentine's Day. The bargain dinner, however, triggers a relationship crisis which has been long brewing. Annie decides to take a break from their relationship until Easter, leading Ming to seek the assistance of 19-year-old love consultant Crystal (Charlene Choi). Crystal teaches Ming all the romantic tricks based on her extensive knowledge of romance novel. In doing so, she is also falling in love with Ming ...

Wong (Koo) is shocked to learn from his girlfriend Annie (Leung) that she wants to break up. He decides to go online and seek help from love experts on the net. he finds Crystal (Choi), a 19-year old self-proclaimed love advisor who has never been actually involved in a relationship. As she assists Wong by telling him to revisit all of his ex-girlfriends in order to find out the root of his problems, the two of them also find themselves falling for one another. Love On The Rocks is a funny yet meaningful look at a romantic relationship going through a rocky path on the road to bliss.

Professional Review of "Love on the Rocks"

June 18, 2007

This professional review refers to Love on the Rocks
Louis Koo and Gigi Leung are the two most attractive people in Hong Kong. Drawn together by the force of their overwhelming good looks, they are tragically pushed apart by the fact that they are both annoying on a cosmic level. Louis Koo plays Ming whom Gigi Leung's Annie dumps on Valentine's Day because not only does he refuse to buy her flowers, not only does he take her to a discount diner for dinner, not only does he invite a friend along, but he chows down on rooster testicles once they're there. What woman wouldn't want a refund? Her dad, Hui Siu-Hung, convinces the two to put a freeze on their relationship until Easter rather than break up immediately because all their bickering and crying is giving him a headache. Freeze in place, Ming hires a nineteen year old, self-proclaimed love expert, Charlene Choi (one of the Twins), who uses her romantic ESP to wow him, then uses her love of playing psychotic tricks to drive him nuts. Ming revisits past relationships to examine his faults (ex-girlfriend rundown: Gillian Cheung, the other Twins, as a cripple; Kathy Chow, the model, and Rain Li, the singer, as gals who fight over him until they commit double suicide in despair), finds that he doesn't really have any faults, then watches Charlene Choi fall for him (because he's the most attractive man in Hong Kong). His universal sense of right and wrong is deeply offended when Donnie Yen shows up out of nowhere and sweeps Annie off her feet, and a conclusion follows which can only be described as an apocalyptic explosion of tears that drives Ming and Annie to their knees in the middle of a busy street, while high pressure tears spray scalding hot from their eyes. Love on the Rocks is a super-sugary, addle-brained confection that contains enough idol-watching and enough "we're making this all up as we go along" lunacy to satisfy anyone who wants to turn off their brains for a harmless, but fun, 90 minutes.

Don't Forget the Romance Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
For lessons in the methods of how a guy can woo a girl correctly by the use of more feminine friendly romantic formulas, this film is quite charming and mildly amusing. Ming Wong takes his girlfriend Annie to a restaurant for a romantic Valentine's Day meal, only to break the cardinal rule by refusing to buy flowers, asking his male friend to join them and splashing out on a cheap hot pot buffet which is not exactly hot to Annie's taste. After watching Ming and his friend tuck into (lets say additional sweet meats) in an anti etiquette style, Annie decides Ming's romantic idea of Valentine's Day isn't what she had in mind and tells him they need to cool their relationship for a while. Ming doesn't seem to have the romantic panache (and telling him, Annie certainly makes a meal out of that!) Frustrated, hurt and abashed, Ming then locates a web site and a girl named Crystal who helps him to find his inner romantic. She knows all the tomes of romantic fiction from Asia to Europe and is more versed in the heart than Aphrodite and Cupid put together - and, can also tell when lovers at a dinner table will argue on cue. Ming meets and picks up with Crystal's hypnotic and adept tips on how to learn the art of the "12 Ways of the Romantic Flowers", how to get romantic in a night time candle lit mega store (with Crystal as tutor) and end up getting noticed in his pajamas when the store re-opens at 10.00 am the next morning filling up with early shoppers and without Crystal (this is where Ming probably needed a Gin on the Rocks here) and eventually tracks back his previous relationships to see what he had learned, or missed, from them.

Its all a mildly funny and quirky. Certainly nothing to get serious about, even (especially) when the film all goes melodramatic at the finish. Twins other half Gillian appears briefly as Ming's first girlfriend and looks and acts beautifully cute and sweet as a girl with a leg handicap, although a poignant finish to that ensues. Donnie Yen also later appears in an embarrassing part where he is expecting a masseur to de-stress him only at the time Annie appears to try him with some new shoes - thinking Annie as the masseuse. The pacing changes a bit in the middle, though, by Ming's past romantic exploits told to Crystal where in a flash back with two girlfriends, played by Canto singers Kathy Chow and Rain Li (lots of popsters popping up in this!), and can seem to out weigh too much for the audience, Ming's relationship with Annie. Acting is good and singer Gigi Leung as Annie is a very pleasant and charming shoe shop assistant love interest, yearning for the timeless fashioned romance Ming struggles to deliver. Lusie Koo plays a good romantic comedy part as the mild and charming boyish Ming along with his romantic(less) attempts to woo Annie (or woo Annie) and makes him somewhat the bumbling charmer. Charlene (hurray!), although only partly featured, is good as the wry full romantic wizard Crystal and with her 'I'm looking serious here, but oi, I'll nudge you in the side as I'm only kidding' looks, wins me over. Charlene is more deadpan funny here as a love intermediary trying to help Ming hone is ability to become more romantic (and falling in love with him herself ...bless) and her male role reversal in Annie's shoe shop showed an instant comic visual that gives Charlene good humerus appeal. It was a shame, in a way, that the script didn't excel here, as it could have been a classic scene. Charlene looking like a fella with a false mustache.

Overall, its another piece of romantic tomfoolery. Still, I believe in the adage that in everything there is something worthy to glean from. Certainly this film's romantic focus on what is important in a relationship is held together by the attentions we can all have for the 'romantic other', the potential soul mate to our lives, and trying to remember to work thoughtfully and considerably proactive with a relationship as best can be. To forget to do that creates an inertia that can lead to no romantic factor. In the end, too, Ming learns some crucial similar facts in a quite roundabout fashion. Done in a melodramatic finish, its funny, silly, has lots of food, but yes, its all romantic in the end. Worth a see.

Good Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
hmm.. this movie is so different from any other Louis Koo had acted. So, if you want to see a different side, get this. It was okay, I was excepting more of humor. Actually, it was, some part. But, I want to see more of Louis. Gigi was really cute..I loved her acting. Gillian is so natural pretty...and Rain Li is plain, also Alex Fong, woah..cute!!! (I just realzed that. haha) and I thought Charalace acting was okay..not as good. I guess it's also different from any other movie she acted... she is mature and no humor.

Not Enteraining Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
this film is not so good. It is too boring.This film has no entertaining to the film. I think when louis wears his glasses he looks like a geek. He would be better off without the glasses and this movie is not even funny at all. i think that the three main casts turn in strong performances. Ithink it was sweet when louis help the disable girl. I have learnt something in this film that i would not forget: each number of roses represents. This film = F if you are a fan of louis go on then buy his film recmented not a Good film.

Not a good film Customer Review Rated Bad 5 - 5 out of 10
i am a big fan of louis and that i love his films and music.Louis is the sexyist and a very hot guy .in this film is not so good. It is too boring.This film has no entertaining to the film. I think when louis wears his glasses he looks like a geek. He would be better off without the glasses.This film has no dramanic sence and it would be good if their was a story about a dramanic love film staring ( louis and joey yung). that would be a excellent film to make and that it will be in the shakespare time.
