Love In A Puff (志明與春嬌) is a 2010 film out of Hong Kong. The movie stars Shawn Yue and Miriam Yeung. The film received many accolades in the HK film circle. Almost as a return to making movies for the HK audience.
Shawn Yue plays Jimmy, a person in the ad business. Jimmy's caught his girlfriend cheating and they split up. However, the girlfriend starts to publicly date the person now and they all work at the same company. Miriam Yeung plays Cherrie, a mall clerk who's with a wandering eye boyfriend. The two meet up to smoke outside. They strike up a very friendly friendship. To the point that some people think they're dating. But if you ask them, its just "smoking buddy" status.
This movie was very HK for me. From the locations to the cig buying, all things only HK residents would know. I had no clue and just had to roll with it. Which is it good point and bad point. So HK that it turned me off a little, but also made me think about 80s and 90s flare that was so HK, like Chungking Express. This was no Chungking Express, but it was a movie for HK folks.
