Sunshine Cops (cant)
When Sammy and On were selected to represent the Hong Kong Police Force, little did they know what they are in for. The Force needed to project an image of young, attractive, intelligent, go-getting and energetic cops, akin the fresh rays of sunshine, hence the name "Sunshine Cops". Sammy and On are put through a hectic schedule of promotional activities and with the media on their backs, they no longer have their privacy, which gets them more and more frustrated. They began to question their reasons for staying in the Force, for they are now merely 'models' not cops.
Starring: Stephen Fung, Ken Zhang Tzu Yao, Angelica Lee
 
 
Movie review by: Michelle Tan

Everything around us projects an image; from athletes, singers to politicians, and the Hong Kong Police Force is no exception. The need is to enhance the image of Hong Kong's finest. The selection process to choose the two of the best cops to represent the Force is on; and the recruits are put through several tests; from hand-to-hand combat, sharp-shooting to aerobics. Aerobics? Why to test their agility, of course (check out this hilarious part), and in the end, Sammy and On came out tops. They became the Sunshine Cops, the Force's new image of young, attractive, intelligent, go-getting and energetic cops, akin the fresh rays of sunshine.

On is certainly a happy-go-lucky kinda guy, and he provides most of the laughs in the movie by his acute statements about everything which he has an opinion of (and he certainly has a-plenty) whereas Sammy is the more serious and firm-footed of the two. What I like about the movie too is that both they guys have 'normal' families, you know, supportive parents and the siblings. This is a clear departure where movies usually like to show some kind of a dysfunctional family, which would go to explain the dysfunctional characters.

Both the cops are put busy, with a hectic schedule of promotional activities like photo sessions for posters and ads, filming for television commercials, handling out leaflets and recruiting missions at high schools. With the media constantly on their back, they lost their privacy as well and began to have doubts about the whole thing, for these are not the reasons they choose to become a cop in the first place. They have become 'models' and no longer cops. And they both are interested in Katy, a teenage schoolgirl. But there is not competition or any animosity between the two, just all three of them having fun together. During a party at the school gym, a gang of thugs 'crashed' in and held the students hostage. To get straight to the point, of course the Sunshine Cops saved the day.

What I find enjoyable about the movie is that it is a no-thinking-required kind of movie, just sit back and enjoy, and laugh. There are some faults, if you want to look for them. Like what are 2 cops doing with a teenage schoolgirl, and underaged too. Hah, what kind of image would that project? But don't think too much, and it isn't the kind of movie that will stick in your mind after watching it, just enjoy while it lasts. I certainly did.
