Duk haan yum cha

This film is about a young man meeting a very selfish and arrogant girl, who happens to be the girl of his dreams.

Most Hong Kong films are poorly made with silly and pointless humour, and I was expecting "I'll Call You" to be the same. I am only partially right, because "I'll Call You" does have its surprises. It does its bit to reflect the local culture, and the local humour works and makes me laugh quite hard in several scenes. I like the incorporation of animated elements (of the taxi travelling to various places in Hong Kong), as it is not common for a Hong Kong film to be innovative and out of the traditional framework. Towards the end of the film, it gets more existential, exploring deep feelings, inertia and source of happiness. Such themes make "I'll Call You" stand out from the rest of the Hong Kong films. It's a surprising and refreshing reflection of the Hong Kong culture, and I enjoyed watching it.
