Stumbling upon the 2011 Hong Kong romantic comedy "Ji Keung Hei Si 2011" (aka "All's Well, Ends Well 2011") by random chance here in 2023, there was no doubt that I had to sit down and watch it. Why? Well, my love of the Hong Kong cinema, and the fact that it was an Asian movie I hadn't already seen, drove me to do so.
Writers Hing-Ka Chan, Miu-Kei Ho and Edmond Wong put together a very enjoyable script for the movie, and I was genuinely and wholeheartedly entertained throughout the 118 minutes that the movie ran for. So thumbs up to the writers on that accomplishment. It is a good story that follows different people as their lives and romances are entertwined and entangled with one another.
I was really amazed with the phenomenal cast ensemble that they had put together for "Ji Keung Hei Si 2011". There are some really big stars in the Hong Kong cinema in the movie, with the likes of Louis Koo, Donnie Yen, Carina Lau, Cecilia Cheung, Chapman To and Raymond Pak-Ming Wong. And there are some other familiar faces on the cast list as well, such as Fruit Chan, Stephy Tang and Nancy Sit. So you have a stellar cast ensemble here, and you are in very capable hands.
The character gallery in "Ji Keung Hei Si 2011" was good and definitely very colorful. And of course it was good acting performances from the cast ensemble.
This is a movie that is well-worth sitting down to watch, especially if you enjoy the Hong Kong cinema.
My rating of directors Hing-Ka Chan and Janet Chun's "Ji Keung Hei Si 2011" lands on a six out of ten stars.
