I attend the New York Asian Film Festival last week. I truly amazed by the main actress Mo and actors Keung To and Jer Lau. The storyline is very simple but yet so meaningful. I also love the songs throughout the movie. I wish I can watch it again in the theater. Some of the scenes touches me so much and I cried few times.
Plot summary

This movie is full of surprise!
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.
The affair of mother.
After being lucky to see a thrilling run of obscure Taiwan Wuxia Action titles on the big screen at the HOME cinema, I was pleased to spot that the Odeon cinema in Birmingham was screening a new film from Hong Kong, leading to me witnessing the end of the affair.
View on the film:
Talking directly to the camera about the struggle of finding a balance between love, work and family, Hard Boiled (1992-also reviewed) lead actress Teresa Mo gives a sparkling performance as Mei-Fung, whose return to the entertainment management industry is given a comedic snap by Mo, which is cracked by a nicely understated romantic side, as Mo expresses Mei-Fung finding a new lust for life.
Turning from major HK-Pop stars into big screen stars, Keung To and Jer Lau give turns which slide between the ill-fitting Melodramatic to the frozen, not helped by the screenplay from writer/director
Kearen Pang, fizzling out after giving Mei-Fung a welcomed quirky introduction, to leave her surrounded by a flat family Drama, as mama leaves for an affair.
