Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Fighting For Love" ("Tung gui mat yau") is a very straight forward, albeit quite stereotypical, romantic comedy to come out of Hong Kong. Much like many of the other movies of the same genre that flooded the market in the early 2000 years.That being said, then I am not saying that it is a bad thing. Far from it, because "Fighting For Love" is a great movie - despite its sappy predictability. Why? Well because it was so well played by Tony Leung and Sammi Cheng. They do have great chemistry together on the screen. I am a fan of Tony Leung, but can't really claim to be a particular fan of Sammi Cheng. But I will give her credit for this movie, because she pulled off a great performance here.The story is about hardworking and charitable Tung-choi (played by Tony Leung) who runs a popular restaurant who runs into a hardworking and somewhat aloof woman by the name of Deborah (played by Sammi Cheng). Despite their obvious differences, there is a love blooming here, but Tung-choi finds himself torn between his new-found soul mate and his long-time celebrity girlfriend (played by Niki Chow).If you have seen any of the romantic comedies that came out from the Hong Kong cinema during the early 2000 years, then you know what you will get here in this movie - as it is cut from the exact same mold. But despite this lack of inventiveness and creativity, then "Fighting For Love" does work out well enough and proves to be good entertainment.There are some great moments throughout the story, and a couple of laughs here and there. And the most outstanding scenes were the ones when Tung-choi and Deborah was on the phone without speaking much, and the scene where they sat at the pool, drinking beer. I will stop here and not go into further details. Just sit down and watch the movie for yourselves.If you enjoy romantic comedies and Hong Kong cinema, then "Fighting For Love" is straight up your alley. Plus it is recommended for fans of either Tony Leung or Sammi Cheng.

gtronin it's a very shallow plot (even for a romantic-comedy). it's too simple and too fast. fortunately, the chemistry between Sammi and Tony works and this movie is actually watchable. and their characters have their unique charm despite their flaws. i'm kind of undecided on whether Tony's dysfunctional family acts as a distraction or a good comedic device.very down-to-earth and simple movie, which in itself is not bad. worth watching once if you're a fan of either leads.

min11586 Tony Leung and Sammi Cheng. One is a brilliant actor and one is a wonderful singer. It's hard to believe that this is their 1st collaboration. But guess what? They did a fabulous job, portraying their characters. Tony's Tong Choi is sweet, caring and funny. Sammi's Siu Tong is tomboyish but I liked her. One of the emotional scenes was when he called her on the cell phone and for a couple minutes, no one said anything...hehe...that's all I'm telling you people. You really have to watch this!!!

gambit99 It seems like Sammi has been in every movie that's come out this year. Unlike Love on a Diet, this movie uses no special effects, just a good story. The story is about Sammi and Tony (Leung Chiu Wai) who have a car accident. After settling the dispute, both get drunk and have a one night stand. Soon after, Sammi loses her job, her savings, and her dad's dog! She moves in with Tony but the only problem is that Tony already has a girlfriend! Anybody who has seen romantic comedies can guess what happens next. I thought this was a sweet romantic comedy. Sammi, again does a wonderful job and is very natural on the screen. Although Tony is looking a little older these days, he is still a good actor and creates nice chemistry with Sammi.
