A great followup

A great followup to Love Undercover! The silly and ridiculous comedy returns again one scene after another. Running bits from the last one pop up now and then which adds a sense of familiarity to the new. Miriam is just as oddly paced as ever but this time it's not so uncomfortable. Basically she is given a chance to redeem herself again just as the last. The story starts right away and for once a comedy with some very transitional and plausible storyline which gives a chance for all characters to shine including Man's father, Sir and the rest of the police team. The highlights include the godfather's three other godfathers getting released from prison (out of touch with Hong Kong today), the Puerto Risi ambassador, and the thief club. Miriam of course steals the show all the time with her quirky cute acting but the movie grows on the old because it expands so much and gives you new characters. Plus Joe Ma's directing and timing is much more refined in this one due to mostly the very succinct script (he also doesn't fail to throw in commentary on dumb pop culture things like he did with Twins last time). Yet many will think of the first one as their favorite because their heart throb Daniel Wu isn't featured enough and that the first was a very different movie, concentrating on the relationship. LU2:LM's theme could be the love for another, to do anything for that person but it offers quite a lot more than that and you'll be laughing too much to even care. So "go, go, go!" and watch it.

A fairly generic sequel...

This 2003 movie "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" (aka "San jaat si mooi 2") is a continuation of the 2002 movie "Love Undercover". And I did enjoy the first movie, so of course I was looking forward to getting to watch the sequel.However, while "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" was enjoyable, it just wasn't really as good as the first movie. The storyline told in this 2003 sequel just didn't have the charm and wits that the first movie had. And that was a shame, because it was badly needed in the movie.The story told in "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" was a bit all over the place and it never really felt like writers Sunny Chan and Joe Ma brought the movie full circle. I felt that there were too many loose ends and unfinished things throughout the course of the movie.Sure, it was nice to have most of the original cast return to reprise their characters in this sequel, just a shame that they weren't given a properly concocted script and storyline to work with.If you are a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, then you will be in company with the likes of Miriam Chin Wah Yeung, Daniel Wu, Shiu Hung Hui and Suet Lam, so there is a good amount of familiar faces and good talents on the cast list.My rating of "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission", however, lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars. The movie just had too many shortcomings and it wasn't really as funny or outstanding as the first movie.
