Mama's Affair

Saw the movie during the New York Asian film festival. The plot is pretty straightforward but it offers a theme that everyone can relate to. Given the relatively simple plot, I was actually amazed that I wasn't asking myself "what's for dinner" or "when's it going to end" half way through because that's what I was thinking last time when I watched a 120-mins movie. The pace of the story felt right and the two hours actually went by quick. The story has light humor but it also touches you that you may laugh and cry with the characters.

I very much enjoyed the visual. The use of the camera angles and the color contrast set the right mood for the story and many of the scenes simply were stunning. Lastly, what I enjoyed the most are the OST, most of the songs were sung by Keung To, and I may be biased as I love his vocals (since that's how I became a fan), but the song choices were great and helped set the mood.

Teresa Mo is a veteran and she never disappoints, I just love her. This is the first film for both Keung To and Jer Lau, while nothing groundbreaking, they were natural and did great as newbies. All the actors and actresses were good and the credits go to director Kearen Pang. I'm no judge of someone's acting skills, but no one seemed out of place or had me wondering what their facial expressions or body languages mean.

The story itself is simple but it resonates well and is multifaceted. However, what makes it worth going to the theater is the visuals and the OST. I generally don't go to the cinema for dramas because I don't find it worthwhile without all the visual and sound effects that a sci-fi movie or animation could offer. I'd recommend it to everyone. Go see with your own eyes how charming Keung To is! Or not...come judge on your own! Recommend it to everyone who would enjoy a light-hearted drama with awesome visuals and great music!

Just watched last night! Thank you Kearen Pang the director to give me so many laughers and tears. It's definitely a good one!

Mama's Affair is the first movie of Jer & Keung To but they handled it very well. Jer act as a school student which surprising fit. Meanwhile Keung To is a bit too handsome to act as a waiter at the beginning like Teresa mentioned in the movie. It makes it very interesting to see Keung To to become a superstar. Watching him go through it brings me hope. It's so impressed to the scene when Keung To see his father. The relationships between each characters are meticulously organised.

Under my highly expectations, Kearen didn't fell me at all. It's worth to spend the night and I am considering to watch again later this week.

I attend the New York Asian Film Festival last week. I truly amazed by the main actress Mo and actors Keung To and Jer Lau. The storyline is very simple but yet so meaningful. I also love the songs throughout the movie. I wish I can watch it again in the theater. Some of the scenes touches me so much and I cried few times.

I watched the premiere on July 31, with the Q & A session with Director Pang afterwards. I found the movie touching and cried a few times especially towards the second half of the movie. I like the way how Artist Manager Mei Fung handled her relationship with her husband. Director Pang really excels at describing the feelings and thoughts of a woman. Of course, Teresa Mo's excellent acting skills undoubtedly helped deliver it. The other two male actors, the Mirror members, were also able to play their roles and act the main characters naturally. Overall, Mama's Affair is worth viewing. I would like to recommend it to others.

The director Pang Picked the superstars as the main actors, but they really could perform the role as the director designed. The most impressed is Mei Fung express her thought to Fong Ching in the Kitchen. I can't hold my tear in this part.

Each roles have been designed in details, each actors perform well in their feet!
