5.0 out of 5 stars Uh oh, January 18, 2000

By	Erich Loehr (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C'est La Vie, Mon Cheri (DVD)

It appears as if the C'est la Vie (HK film) reviews are linked to some insipid europop act. So for the benefit of those looking for a film review I will say this: Imagine a room full of grown men (and a few women) crying because of a film. That is what Anita Yuen did to us. Simply put it is a tear-jerker kind of film but done in a humanistic unglossy kind of way only Hong Kong could pull off. I guess that is the benefits of still being a fledgling industry is that you can get away with sentimental and nobudget films without looking cheap; it just looks honest instead. suffice to say I liked it and still think Anita Yuen is one of the best things since swiss cheese.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Movie, March 3, 2004

By	"smoke138" (HAFB, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C'est La Vie, Mon Cheri (DVD)

I rented this movie on a whim just to check it out and im definately glad I did. I have no idea why people seem to think this movie is for 'teenage girls' because Im not a teenage girl and I really liked this. No, Im not usually into romance movies...they usually are so sappy im looking for the remote within the first 15 minutes. This was completely different, The acting and the story is so captivating, especially to me, as I could relate to the main character, being that im a musician as well. Thats what grabbed me from the beginning, the sheer reality of it, unlike the 'we're rich, snobby people in love but oh what a wacky love it is!' garbage, drivel most American romance movies are. Sure the plot had a few weak moments, but what movie doesnt? What really made this movie stand out to me was the ending..stark and real, not the typical 'everything is great!' hollywood nonsense. I wont give away too much, but the change was definately refreshing. do yourself a favor and rent or buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable love story, December 20, 2008

By	Liang Han Zhang (Canton, CHINA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: C'est La Vie, Mon Cheri (DVD)

The movie is excellent, the only thing make me frustrated is the DVD video and sound quality, not that satisfied as I expected. Hope next new release will be better.
