what's up with the fantasy love stories this year?
(ask me again later)

so Li-Ann (Wong Li Lin/Joan Chen) is a romantic.
all because once upon a time she consulted a fortune teller and he told her all about her future love of her life.
and check this. her birthday falls on 29th February.

so years upon years after hearing the fortune, Li-Ann and her 3 best girlfriends (Nadya Hutagalung, Paula Malai Ali & Vernetta Lopez) and her best guy friend (Qi Yu Wu) (who happens to be secretly in love with her) have all grown up.
and suddenly her love life begins to unravel just as the fortune teller predicted on her birthday (of all days in all the years)

so the love of her life is SUPPOSEDLY this stranger Jeremy (Ananda Everingham) and obviously they don't live happily ever after from the get go else it would have been a really short movie right?

i know i'm not one for the love stories but i can appreciate good ones.
(c'mon. i liked Moulin Rouge & Romeo + Juliet right??)
and i know this was based upon a novella by Dr Catherine Lim.
but this movie just seems to 'swee'. even for a fairy tale.
and on top of that it is (unfortunately) very predictable.

*adam. what's with all the fantasy love stories this year*
yeah first PS I Love You. now this.
they should make a combined sequel called 'PS I Love You On Leap Years'
starring pierre png of course.

ultimately a fairy-tale love story.
so bring a girl to watch it. and probably expect the teary eyes at the end.
not too bad in the end i guess.
at least the female cast was hot. super hot.

Final Verdict:
