Short of Love - 矮仔多情

Short of Love (矮仔多情) is a 2009 film out of Hong Kong. The film stars Wong Cho Lam, Angelababy, Race Wong, JJ Jia, and Kate Tsui. With cameos from Ella Koon, Chrissie Chau, Divas (HK), Louis Cheung, I Love You Boyz, ToTo Mui, Eddie Ng, Louis Yuen, and Lynn Xiong.

The movie is about Wong Cho Lam as Jack, a very rich stock trader. Jack is short, has curly hair, fat lips, and not very easy on the eyes. Yet in this movie, he's a playboy and gets all the girls! Amazing! In this movie, he's already living with Chrissie Chau as Lily, but due to some comedic circumstances, Lily thinks Jack is poor and leaves him. Down on his luck, he abandons work and looks for love, or sex partners. Angelababy as an Angel gives him some advice that helping others will help him find love. It starts at his shrinks office when Race Wong as Chrissy/Christine/Chris mistakes Jack for a shrink. Jack does his best to woo Chrissy, but Chrissy has multiple personality disorder. With drugs in hand and than mixing them up, Chrissy developers even more personalities. On the run, Jack bumps into JJ Jia's Caca and befriends her, by playing a blind masseuse. Of course, Caca finds out he's not blind. Kate Tsui as Sandy enters his life. And falls for Jack?!

Wow. I had this movie on while doing bills, so, it was tolerable. If I were just watching the movie and doing nothing else. I'd stop and read the business section of my Los Angeles Times to feel smarter. The movie seemed to only be a showcase for Wong Cho Lam. Unfortunately, Jack is a character that stays unlikable to the very end. And you have to wonder in your head, none of these real life beauties should give him the time of day.

This was the second movie with Angelabay I've seen. Angelababy is now my favorite HK actress. Amazingly beautiful.

Chrissie Chau, this is the first movie I've seen her in a movie. Chrissie's been in the HK news a lot lately as a sexy bombshell. Unfortunately, from this movie, bombshell she isn't. Bombshell is a combo of looks an body. Chrissie may have the boby, but not the beauty part.

JJ Jia makes another great appearance. JJ's great and her personal blog ads to her aura. Sweet and gentle, but all so beautiful.

Angelebaby softens up the movie and had way to little screen time. Boo! More screen time for Angelababy!

In essence, you're watching this movie for the all the lovely ladies stomping around. That's it. The story only moves you to the next lady. Fine by me. If the ladies were any less, the movie wouldn't have gotten me to the end.

Watch for the ladies, skip it if you're looking for an interesting story.
