Truly Dreadful Film
hyped garbage
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
I liked this movie, could have more of Eddie in it, as he is so cute and adorable. Loved the scene, where he was mumbling trying to speak Spanish just to sneak into a private party. If you are any of these eye candy fans, you may want to watch the movie. I bought it just to see Eddie! Anyways, its a story about two girls who want nothing but love. Gigi and Marlene, wants to have perfect mates. Unfortunately, it seems that they have flaws. Gigi is a Clean FREAK, and her DNA gets in the way of her finding the perfect match. Marlene is taking the Anti-Fat DNA pill to stay skinny. Although she is seeing someone, she fears that if he learns that she is normally FAT, he would leave her. But her so called boy-friend is only there while he is in town for business, so Marlene rarely sees him. Well Gigi's boyfriend breaks up with her because he can't stand her Clean Freak DNA, depressed, Gigi accidentally runs into (literarly) her old college sweetheart with her car. They meet up, and he still has feelings for her. She realizes she still has feelings for him but doesn't remember why they broke up. Till one day she visits his apartment and realizes that he is a MAJOR Slob, and her Clean Freakishness, takes over. Not wanting to lose love, she starts taking the anti-clean pill. But this pill has many side effects, will she get what she wants? or lose him and lose love? Will let you find out by watching this movie...OK, enough about Gigi and oh yeah his name is Anteater (Peter Ho). As for Marlene (naturally plump girl taking the anti-fat pills) in comes Teddy (Eddie Peng ***CUTIE***) who instantly falls for her. He tries his hardest to get her affection doing crazy things, like check her mail, bring her things, and try to sneak in to a Private Tango dinner party...etc...and basically do anything for her. As much as he tries, she is afraid of people finding out who she really is, and only feels for her always absent boyfriend. Till one day, the anti-fat pill goes off the market, and she fears that she will start to get fat again, and lose everything. so she goes on a no-eating diet to keep the weight off. Later she passes out(Low blood sugar), and Eddie is near by to save her and confesses how much he really likes her. He finds out she is taking the anti-fat pill, and says she don't need it. She realizes that regardless of what she looks like, he cares for her as she is, and so she falls for him too. There are quite a few comedic parts in the movie, not the best, but again, it's more eyecandy movie than a good movie. I still like it. Watch the movie and see if you like it too.
