Movie review by: Michelle Tan
Click here for pictures Looks like Shu Qi is trying to be taken
seriously as an actress, but she could well do with a better script than "My Loving
Trouble 7". After being hand-picked by Jackie Chan as his leading lady in 'Gorgeous'
(bad choice), we last saw her in "Metade Fumaca", which I personally found to be
a 'no-make-sense' kind of movie. Maybe I am too critical. Besides, she didn't have much of
a role in "Metade Fumaca", all that was required of her was literally to sit and
look pretty. Really!
Back to the issue at hand, what do I think of "My Loving Trouble 7"?
Entertaining enough to watch to pick faults, but I have to admit, there are some pretty
funny moments, not original, but alright. What I found distasteful was its copycat ideas
from "Entrapment" and the movie starring Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick,
"Addicted To Love", I think. Come on, where's the originality? I lost my
appetite for my popcorn already.
Well, Shu Qi played Julia, a secret agent who was enlisted and trained by a secret
organisation for industrial espionage, and the works. Basically she wants out, but it
isn't that easy. To add to her dilemma, her new partner is a freshie who just seems to
enjoy shopping, dancing and constantly irritates Julia with her chirping. And coupled with
that, this new guy is like really in love with her 'coz she is soooo beautiful (note my
sarcasm here?) and he has this two stupid cronies to help him win her heart. Phew!
That's basically it in a nutshell. So is it still worth your bucks to go watch it? Only
if you are a Shu Qi fan. Are there any out there? Hallo....??
