YesAsia Editorial Description
Wai Ka Fai amuses movie fans with one hilarious Chinese New Year movie every year. After Fantasia and Himmalaya Singh, his latest comedy The Shopaholics, released during Chinese New Year 2006, now comes to DVD. Lau Ching Wan and Cecilia Cheung star as an apparently perfect couple - Fong (Cecilia Cheung) is obsessed with shopping to an extent of carrying heavy debt loads, whereas psychiatrist Dr. Choosey Lau cannot even buy himself a lunch box because of his phobia to make choices. But the presence of two other characters, played by Hong Kong singer Jordon Chan and sexy actress Ella Koon, seems to mess up this perfect balance, and the four together promise an entertaining movie with non-stop jokes for nearly 100 minutes!
While Fong and Lau are going out fine, she comes across a penny-pinching tycoon (Jordon Chan) who occasionally switches to a spendthrift. Meanwhile, Lau also meets his ex-girlfriend (Ella Koon) who never gets over her breaking up with him. Their relationships develop into a four-way engagement, and even a joint wedding! With help of a psychologist-cum-shopaholic, played by veteran singer Paula Tsui who hasn't appeared in movies for years, can they resolve such messy relationships in the end? The Shopaholics is no doubt an extremely entertaining title, but it also invites viewers to rethink romance and materialism - after all it's shopping that connects and disconnects people in The Shopaholics.

Should have been better
|
The first half of "The Shopaholics" is a mildly amusing tale of people battling their phobias. Sean Lau, Cecilia Cheung, and Jordan Chan deftly bring their screwed-up characters to life. Too bad the film didn't end there. The second half of the movie seeks to turn the comedy into a wild slapstick affair in which the four phobia-ridden central characters, on their wedding day, cannot make up their minds about whom to marry. Perhaps in more skillful hands this might have been funny, but the direction here is entirely ham-handed and the movie becomes interminable. One of the major problems of the film's second half is that it places Paula Tsui at the center of the action. Whatever her merits may be as a singer, Ms. Tsui simply cannot act. Her monotonal delivery saps the comic energy from the film and reduces the rest of the cast to flailing about for very few laughs. Here's my recommendation: Watch the movie until the wedding day arrives, then find something better to do with your time. By the way, when (and why) did Cecilia get those tattoos??? |

It's a funny movie!
|
The plot is of course, soapy, heavily exaggerated, but at the same time, hilariously funny! Of course it's very difficult to have the level of severity in those problems as severe as this movie described, even a lot of those random thoughts might cross our minds sometimes.... but if it comes down to reality level, it would not be funny. I like the way this movie is done. If you are looking for serious and romantic film, this isn't the one for you. |

I like it
| I was in Hong Kong in March this year and a video store was playing this movie. There were about 10 people or so standing outside the window of the store watching this movie. I think they liked the movie because they were standing there for quite a while. I am glad I finally get to buy it. It is a crazy movie but sure puts a smile on my face. |
