    A warm and touching movie worth to watch it with family

    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!

    Must See

    Haven't go for a Hong Kong movie quite awhile...... what a surprise in this movie. A great story line touched everyone's heart. Love all the actor and actress, specially Teresa Mo, Keung To & Jer Lau. Thanks Director Kareen Pang giving me a chance to know those new talented actor and actress.

    Really want to see it again!

    If you think this is a comedy then you are wrong! Yes, there are moments that would make you giggle but this movie is pretty darn touching. I specifically like how Keung To or Fong in the movie acted out the relationships between him and his father whom he hasn't seen in a long while. The songs in the movie is also very well chosen and well sung.

    A Touching Movie

    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.

    Want to see it again!

    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!
