DVD REVIEW:
This is one of those films that is not necessarily a great film, in fact some may see it as corny but yet you fall in love with it. “Needing You” is a loveable film about two characters. One is a hard working businessman who is rumored to be a womanizer and the other is Kinki. His assistant who is quite an interesting character. Weird? Maybe. But Sammi Cheng plays this character very well and perhaps this is one of the reasons why you love the movie, both Andy and Sammi are great in this film! If you are a guy, there is something about Sammi’s character (or her) that just simply wants to make you watch this movie and love it!
If anything, the storyline is pretty simple and cool…and funny. But the characters are what enhances this film and again, Andy and Sammi do a great job playing their characters and you really get into the movie. This romantic comedy is just very interesting and you’ll love it!
As for the DVD, I’m so sad that for such a cool film it’s only available via Mei Ah…(sigh)…and that means…zilch on special features. No trailer either. Oh well, the movie is a pretty good love story and the DVD is the way to go! If you like this movie, make sure you check out another cool romantic comedy from this year titled “and i hate you so”.
