Hooked On You - 每當變幻時



Hooked On You (每當變幻時) is a 2007 film out of Hong Kong starring Miriam Yeung and Eason Chan.

The movie was related to the 10th anniversery of the turnover in 1997. The movie spans 1997-2007. Within that time, we follow Miriam as Miu and Eason as Fishman. Miu is a fishmonger at Fortune Market and Eason is a rival fish monger. Miu and Fishman start to fall for one another. But Miu does not want to marry into her current "class", but wants to marry up so she doesn't have to work so hard. Miu and Fishman have this back and forth in the film. Will they or will they not get together situations.

HK events from 1997-2007 were brought up as landmarks in the 10 years. From the turnover, to SARS, to modern super centers.

I was bored watching this film. I am no HK resident and some of the events didn't register until I read other reviews for it. Catch it if you're a Miriam or Eason fan. If you're not a fan, skip it.
