Avis à la une
The show is quite nice except for the actress should learn to act a bit more natural rather than trying to so call act cute. I have seen lot of her show and her acting really have lots more to brush up. Too fake. I also don't understand why she was choose to be the lead actress of this show. Maybe budget was low. If she can learn to act less fake, it would be nicer.
The movie's full of philosophy about life. However,it's not boring at all.The dialogue are very humor. Through the conversation between Jane and Sam, we can find that everyone is facing the same problems everyday and we have to try our best to deal with them and to make our lives more happier and productive. All the supporting actors act great in this movie. I'll say "The Truth About Jane & Sam" is the movie of the year,1999. The songs are great, the actors are great, the content is also great! I enjoyed it very much. I felt the warmth when the movie ended.
After seeing this movie i thought of something that i never felt before. The feeling of seeing the hardest things in a lighter way. this romantic philosophic comedy has a straight line story.
A brat Jane (Fann wong) who doesn't care about life in any manner but the thing is she is living. She can do anything for her drinking and drugs. A sophisticated, shy guy Sam (Peter Ho) who works as a journalist in HK. He needs a story and she has the story nothing but her story. Slowly a sensitive relation develops between them. Circumstances lead them to live under one roof. Here Jane starts living with a hope and Sam with a fear. Then comes the story of separation and reunion. But that is not that simple to say anyway.
Well the power of this movie is its simplicity and continuity. Let me tell u one simple sequence after Jane undergoes an eye surgery she comes down by lift of the hospital. On one floor she observes a family crying on death of their relative and on next stop of lift she notices a man in joy on his new born kid. Then the narration thru her says that life is both optimistic and pessimistic, it's the what u chose for yourself that matters. see how simple yet powerful.
i personally feel that i don't mind watching this movie again and again

Fann Wong (Yes, weird name) . Just because some industry bigwig thought she was photogenic and popular with teenagers, she was cast in this picture. Peter Ho is a singer by trade and this is his first time acting. Though they look like they could sell toothpaste together, they certainly can't sell movies. This movie was a thorough waste of time and it nearly bored me to tears in the cinema.
"The truth about Jane and Sam" is a totally shallow work employing the oldest plot in the book. A cynical, jaded woman (Fann Wong) in Hong Kong, meets Singaporean journalist(Peter Ho). At first they don't like one another, then he finds she is actually a sweet, nice girl inside. Then they end up going to bed. The next morning, POW! she is in the kitchen (how domestic) , making him breakfast.
This is just a movie to cheat impressional teenagers of their allowances. By the way, the soundtrack sucks too. Thank goodness they didn't let Fann Wong sing the theme song. . Watch this movie at your own peril.

I don't know much about Hong Kong movies, or just enough to know there's a lot of junk, but after two viewings I still feel that by any standards this is a truly good movie. The main attraction here is the center character of Jane, who embodies with great liveliness a fundamentally good girl strayed into a depraved life. The movie oscillates between light comedy and (especially towards the end)
powerful drama triggered by the girl's unshakable (or hardly so) addictions and bad habits; but ultimately it is a very refreshing, uplifting and tender love story.
