BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
chowbaby This movie was really funny, not only was it about Kam's life as a hooker but the hardships,the ups and downs Hong Kong went through during those decades. If they did this film later, she could've described what it was like to live through the SARS scare in Hong Kong.I loved Sandra in this movie, she was totally being herself..haha
best_wells this movie first got my attention when it drew rave reviews in HK early this year, but when I rent the DVD, I thought it was even better than what I expected, overall I think this is the most entertaining HK movie of the year. I like it better than "Wu Jian Dao" (Infernal Affairs) which was voted the best HK movie the same year. I just think Gam Gai is a more entertaining and more memorable movie. Not to mention the great performance by Sandra Ng. The story is touching and very funny at times, and although it's a bit predictable, the ending is still very good. I plan to buy the DVD after renting the DVD. Highly recommended.
bettylewben Sandra Ng probably should have won HKFA Best Actress award. Comedy is an under-appreciated art and Sandra Ng is a true artist, if under-appreciated. This movie shows the trials and tribulations of a Hong Kong woman through her career as a "fish ball" girl, club hostess, masseuse and prostitute while showing a unique view of HK history. I've watched this movie twice and I intend to watch it several more times. There is so much to catch--cameos, social history, irony, subtleties. It's a real treat!
KENTsangkh It is a great fun comedy and sure can make you laugh loudly, perhaps for those who understand Cantanese only, as the punchline are quite local.First, the film has a strong story line which is about the career of Kam, a 45 years-old prostitute in Hong Kong. The background of most scenes are Hong Kong in 70s and 80s. The acting, dress up, envirnoment make the movie full of taste of 70s-80s, which is very successful. You will not boring throughout the whole movie.Second, the cast is great. A lot of great stars such as Erci Tsang, Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Eason Chan are act as guest appearance in this film, which make the film more attractive. The acting of Sandra Ng is also great, perhaps because she may find this role's personality quite similar to her.....Anyway, her great acting make her nominated for the Best Actress In Leading Role of Hong Kong Film Awards this year. (nominated as Best Picture as well)Third, the film can let you understand how a prostitute turn up to down during 90s, same as the economic condition. It make you to commiserate the experience of Kam, as well as the condition of Hong Kong.Highly recommended.8/10
