This is a pretty good spin on the romantic comedy genre. The feisty Kelly happens upon a thrift shop and finds the record she gave to her first boyfriend in the bargain bin! Although furious, she wants it back but it's already been bought by a DJ, Aaron. He didn't have enough money and is putting it on hold. She begs him to sell it back to her and he refuses. To add insult to injury, he tells everyone about this on his radio show. And the fighting begins..

The story is pretty good, especially the dialogue between Aaron and Kelly and both actors seem to have good chemistry. Overall, I would recommend this movie.

I really enjoyed this movie. Of course it was obvious that the two main characters would fall in love, but that's usually the case in romantic movies. I liked the humor of their interactions. It was a feel good movie, and I even watched it twice in the same week. Lots of laughs and a few giggles.

Hmmm, the two leads are too hard of a character to really stir up romantic feelings, and their interactions rather flat despite the mud slinging that goes on. Aaron Kwok, although a gorgeous looking guy, never appears like he has deep character in any of his movies, or someone with a caring personality. Kelly Chen is also too stiff and don't convey kindness, or loving feelings on any of her movies. Now two such characters got together in a romantic comedy ! It would have only worked with a title like I Hate You So.

Both actors do a credible job, but I couldn't get to like the character Aaron Kwok's was playing. He was pretty mean in this movie. Kelly Chen's character was only marginally better. The romance between Eric and Mo on the sideline was silly and it didn't match the mood of the two serious main characters. There were other romantic comedy with two leads antagonizing each other like Pillow Talk between Doris Day, and Rock Hudson. At least those guys had some charm even when they were going at each other. This is not the case with these two.

Plot was pretty good, so the movie was okay to watch. It's an unlikely story of romance happening to two such characters.

If you in the mood of love, this is truly a must see. Such a romantic view. Especially if you watch it by your "special friend". The plot is so common, but the director is sweetly re-made this tale of love. If you expect some good and no-cheesy drama, you will be disappointed. But, like I told you, this movie will fill you with love.

7/10

I braved this Aaron Kwok-Kelly Chan vehicle to see Teresa Mo's first (and only) movie appearance since 1994. I've missed watching her goofy-cute performances and she doesn't disappoint, even if And I Hate You So is as lame a movie as they come.

The plot sounded promising - a columnist and a deejay get into an extended catfight, trashing each other through their respective medias. However, the characters (or the actors) fail to rise up to expectations. Kwok's deejay is just mean and misogynist, and Chan's columnist is simply bossy and untalented. Considering the kissy-kissy movie poster, it's plain to see that they're going to fall in love despite their spats. How they look past each other's shortcomings is beyond me. Well, lame-o deserves lame-o.

Teresa Mo and Eric Tsang apparently get a romantic side plot of their very own as Mo only interacts with the two leads a couple of times and Tsang not at all. I thought it was perhaps their romance was supposed to parallel that of the leads', but I failed to see any relation besides the obvious falling in love with each other, so I'm attributing it to uneven scripting. It's not a bad thing, detaching Mo from the uninteresting leads, but she's given much less screen time as a result. Still, it doesn't stop her from outshining the leads and stealing the movie with her radiant presence. As evidence, she's was the only actor here nominated for a Hong Kong Film Award. 5/10
