San jaat si mooi

Although Love Undercover isn't one of the best movies around, I believe it's worth watching. Fans of the romantic comedy genre and of Hong Kong stars Miriam Yeung and Daniel Wu as both the male and female leads, will find this movie worth their while. The suddenly flamting Daniel Wu seems to be everywhere these days and he'll probably go up from there. Miriam Yeung is adorable - it is no wonder why she is at the top of the box office. She'so at the top of her league - undeniably the best comedic actress around today. Sammi Cheng - she's hot on your tail! Pick it up - it'll give you some laughs and eye candy as well. :)

Well, the 2002 Hong Kong romantic comedy can be summarized fairly quickly: as it is a very standard romantic comedy.

But there is more to the movie that just that. Sure, the storyline is fairly straight forward and generic, following the traditional blueprint of how to construct a romantic comedy. But this Hong Kong movie from 2002 manages to go a bit beyond your average romantic comedy.

The storyline is laced with great situational comedy, and the cast in the movie delivers spot on performances, which greatly helps setting the movie aside from many other romantic comedies from the same era. The storyline is actually rather enjoyable in "Love Undercover" (aka "San jaat si mooi").

And the impressive cast ensemble that appear in the movie definitely helps to flesh out the characters in the movie in a very believable manner. The chemistry between lead performers Daniel Wu and Miriam Chin Wah Yeung is really good and believable, and they make a very nice couple on the screen. But "Love Undercover" is more than just those two; it also boasts some nice performances from the likes of Shiu Hung Hui and Yiu-Ming Lee to mention the most recognizable of support casted actors.

If you enjoy romantic comedies and have a liking for the Hong Kong cinema, then this 2002 movie is definitely well-worth sitting down to watch. I was thoroughly entertained by the story and was enjoying the movie as a whole.

My rating of "Love Undercover" lands on a six out of ten stars.

What a story, just look at this movie with your family or your friends or with your brother or sister, it will feel better. Why? (easy question) because this movie definitely very very funny.

The first time I saw this movie with my sisters we all laugh so hard. Just look at Miriam Yeung acting as an undercover cop who very coincidence liked by Daniel Wu (that was the first time I saw Daniel), she was so funny. Beside this movie is not having a short plot like other movies.

I should say to the director that he was succeed to make this movie as one of the best from Hong Kong's Cinema.

Daniel as a prince charming and Miriam as a modern and funny cinderella, why not?

surprisingly salaeble last year but comments went very extreme. perhaps hong kong's undergoing a transformation in culture. to those who in it find nothing enjoyable may also find nothing funny and even feel uncomfortable in this comedy. there seems to be a stab at the traditional value although not so sharp is it. so no wonder some people really get riled with its style. but something traditional or conventional is still preserved. like Pretty Woman, the love story offers a every-girl dream - a charming, rich and loyal boy friend. quite entertaining and some parts even moving. reason of course is not the main concern. in fact everything goes crazy. but can audiences other than those living here can grasp the humour ??? that's a question. perhaps it can be viewed as a key to understand the philosophy of new generation. the style reminds me of Johnny English. so take it easy. it's a nice comedy but please don't expect too much. 5/10

Daniel Wu and Miriam Yeung fit particularly well into their roles and give a solid performance. There are some interesting plot twists and turns, though the editing falls short. The lines are well-designed for a rom-com and the music score simply makes it more hilarious.
