    Surprisingly good!

    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.

    Movie that you can't miss!!!!

    The movie describes complicated interpersonal relationship very well. All characters look well on the surface, like Mei Fung is a full time mom with a academically excellent son, typical happy family; yet no one understand her loneliness from husband's affair, distance from the son~ Fong Ching's appearance unveils all these difficult situations and force everyone within to face their own problems!

    Miss mo acts very well as usual; out of surprise, the 2 new actors, Keung To & Jer Lau perform quite well. I am especially love Fong Ching (keung To), he has to struggle between his past and reality to become a superstar. His facial expression and eyesight convincely tells his transformation. And, of course, his charisma on stage that cannot resist!

    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!

    Hong Kong films are getting better and better

    This story tells the story of a mother, her son, and another young man who go through their own personal struggles. The emotions are beautifully portrayed. The visuals are consistently good as well, with great camera work and lighting. There could be tighter editing, as some scenes seem to linger on for a bit too long. Overall, I think this film will touch heart strings. Hong Kong films are getting better and better!

    Unexpected Touching

    At first I only expected that it was a simple story about how Fong Ching (act by the Super idol in HK, Keung To) has become a superstar with the nurturing from Mei Fung (act by Teresa Mo). However, during the 120-min story, I am deeply touched by the short but impressed side story between Fong Ching and his father, the tensed but finally turned warmth relationship between Mei Fong and her son, as well as the resigned acceptance of choice from Mei Fung's son made by his parents.

    It's a film about love, acceptance and forgiveness that each person has to experience and learn to do that. Don't miss it. You can bring back a lot when you leave the cinema.
