Needing You

Needing You is a very satisfying romance comedy with exceptional production values and unforgettable scenes.

In another Andy Lau film, Andy plays Wah-Sui, a womanizer business salesman in the busy Hong Kong electronic industry. Sammi Cheng plays as Kinki, one of her most memorable and beloved character who has some psychological and emotional problem about dating, but she's full of heart and very likable.

On the bear bones, the film is about the typical office romance, but Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai managed to create something both fresh and fun to watch. Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng are definitely one of the best couples ever to grace the Hong Kong silver screen; the chemistry they share on screen is very lovable and entertaining with solid identifiable characters. Sammi Cheng performance is better than Andy's not because Andy's character is lacking in much areas, but because her character is so much more demanding. Sammi has a very pure goofy and girl-like feel to her character and it easily makes her character one of the more memorable over the years.

Romance comedies are essentially not meant to revolutionize the industry but more to do with having fun at the movies. In that regard, Needing You perfectly captures the essences of romance comedy and it is a movie that should not be miss.
