Another movie review! I've been doing a lot of that these past few weeks. o.O Anyways, today's movie is The Wedding Diary starring Penangite Ah Niu and many other Malaysian, Singaporean and Hong Kong actors and actresses such as Elanne Kwong, Kara Hui (love her!), Zhu Hou Ren, Marcus Chin, Chris Tong, Shaun Chen and Maggie Theng.
,
This movie is about Ah Niu's character, Wei Jie (蔡伟杰), and his never-ending budget crisis on planning the best wedding ever for his bride, Elanne Kwong's character, Zhi Xin (芷欣). Wei Jie comes from a poor Hokkien lower class family in Penang whereas his bride is a rich daughter to a wealthy Cantonese Singaporean family. Obviously, these two families would clash at some points. Not only that, Wei Jie and his father's relationship had some strain, so does Zhi Xin and her mother, where Zhi Xin always felt that her mother had been very cold towards her father, Colin Chong. (There had been some jokes on the names of the fathers, really funny XD). So pretty much the entire movie was centered around over-budgeting, social class, pride and relationship, both romantically and familial love. Not only does this movie contained much humourous scenes, but also touching scenes such as the one between Wei Jie and his father. I almost cried on that scene but I tried not to. The girl beside me cried though. The next scene was even more hilarious, when Wei Jie visited his father and saw the blanket draped over the body and he began to cry out anguishly. Immediately, the "body" turned out to be an Indian guy who was pissed off at Wei Jie for making too much noise and disturbing his sleep. Damn that was sooooo funny!!! XD
Overall, this was a nice romantic comedy movie, highly recommended. 8 out of 10!
P.S. Most of the scenes shot in Penang, especially the ones shot in Georgetown, are quite near to my house and my college! It's a wonder why I didn't saw the cast shooting nearby.
