If you think this is a comedy then you are wrong! Yes, there are moments that would make you giggle but this movie is pretty darn touching. I specifically like how Keung To or Fong in the movie acted out the relationships between him and his father whom he hasn't seen in a long while. The songs in the movie is also very well chosen and well sung.
I watched the premiere on July 31, with the Q & A session with Director Pang afterwards. I found the movie touching and cried a few times especially towards the second half of the movie. I like the way how Artist Manager Mei Fung handled her relationship with her husband. Director Pang really excels at describing the feelings and thoughts of a woman. Of course, Teresa Mo's excellent acting skills undoubtedly helped deliver it. The other two male actors, the Mirror members, were also able to play their roles and act the main characters naturally. Overall, Mama's Affair is worth viewing. I would like to recommend it to others.
The movie describes complicated interpersonal relationship very well. All characters look well on the surface, like Mei Fung is a full time mom with a academically excellent son, typical happy family; yet no one understand her loneliness from husband's affair, distance from the son~ Fong Ching's appearance unveils all these difficult situations and force everyone within to face their own problems!
Miss mo acts very well as usual; out of surprise, the 2 new actors, Keung To & Jer Lau perform quite well. I am especially love Fong Ching (keung To), he has to struggle between his past and reality to become a superstar. His facial expression and eyesight convincely tells his transformation. And, of course, his charisma on stage that cannot resist!

At first I only expected that it was a simple story about how Fong Ching (act by the Super idol in HK, Keung To) has become a superstar with the nurturing from Mei Fung (act by Teresa Mo). However, during the 120-min story, I am deeply touched by the short but impressed side story between Fong Ching and his father, the tensed but finally turned warmth relationship between Mei Fong and her son, as well as the resigned acceptance of choice from Mei Fung's son made by his parents.
It's a film about love, acceptance and forgiveness that each person has to experience and learn to do that. Don't miss it. You can bring back a lot when you leave the cinema.

The director Pang Picked the superstars as the main actors, but they really could perform the role as the director designed. The most impressed is Mei Fung express her thought to Fong Ching in the Kitchen. I can't hold my tear in this part.
