| Vertically challenged Hong Kong comedic favorite Wong Cho Lam (Connected, La Lingerie) makes his leading man debut in the romantic laughfest Short of Love. Directed by James Yuen (Heavenly Mission), Short of Love takes a page from the star-studded "chasing girls" romantic comedies of the eighties and nineties, lining up young and beautiful actresses as foils for Wong's goofs and gags. Race Wong (True Women For Sale), Kate Tsui (Eye in the Sky), JJ Jia (La Lingerie), Lynn Xiong (Ip Man), and popular models Angelababy and Chrissie Chau play the objects of affection, with Tsui giving an especially memorable performance during her Moment of Romance parody segment. TVB personalities Louis Yuen and Cutie Mui, comedic duo I Love You Boyz, and singers Ella Koon, Louis Cheung, and Eddie Ng add to the fun in supporting roles.
Playboy Jack Lam (Wong Cho Lam) may be short and shallow, but he's got money and lots of it, which is enough to keep the girls coming. He even manages to dodge the financial tsunami thanks to a fortuitous error. Jack's hot gold-digger girlfriend (Chrissie Chau), however, thinks he's gone bankrupt and dumps him immediately, sending him a nasty wake-up call. Encouraged by the advice (and cute looks) of Angel (Angelababy), Jack decides to go out and look for love again, encountering an emotionally unstable dancer (Race Wong), a naive massage girl (JJ Jia), and a scarred triad girl (Kate Tsui). |
