My Left Eye Sees Ghosts

Fun comedy staring Sammi Cheng and Lau Ching Wan with surprisingly strong emotional tie-ins. The Johnnie To - War Ka-Fai collaboration prevails again!

Sammi plays May, who became a widow recently when her husband died in a scuba-diving accident. The strange thing is that the two got married after only meeting for seven days. For the next three years, May lives a life without purpose or direction until a near fatal car crash allow her left eye to see ghosts; which include Lau Ching Wan. Lau Ching Wan aids her broken spirit in hilarious and memorable scenes as she slowly comes in grasp with what she really wanted in life and who she really missed...

Along with "Needing You" and "Love on a Diet", this movie is one of the better romance comedies that directors Johnnie To and War Ka-Fai has made. The story is a little tedious near the beginning, but overall, it is a very rewarding experience about self-desires and happiness in life. Like traditional Johnnie To and War Ka-Fai movie style, there are quite a few of loose ends that doesn't get all tie up until the very end.

Either way, "My Left Eye Sees Ghosts" is a very rewarding movie for fans of Sammi Cheng and Lau Ching Wan.
