“Right, well I sat down here in 2023 to watch the 2009 Singaporean movie u0026quot;Xing Fu Wan Suiu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Love Mattersu0026quot;) believing that I was in for a comedy movie. I had never actually heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it. So I wasnu0026#39;t sure what I was in for here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, I have to say that writers Boris Boo, Gilbert Chan and Jack Neo put together a script and storyline that fell short of entertaining me. There was not really any comedy present throughout the course of the movie, which made it a very different viewing experience than what I was expecting. And on top of that, then the drama storyline that u0026quot;Xing Fu Wan Suiu0026quot; turned out to be wasnu0026#39;t really interesting or captivating.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie had a good cast ensemble, though I was only familiar with Henry Thia and Jack Lim. But it should be noted that the acting performances by the actors and actresses on the cast list was good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI found u0026quot;Xing Fu Wan Suiu0026quot; to be a very difficult movie to sit through, as the narrative was rather slow paced, and there wasnu0026#39;t really anything interesting happening as the narrative dragged on. And the lack of comedy was just a blow to the face. And with a runtime of 113 minutes, then it was quite the ordeal to sit through the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of directors Gilbert Chan and Jack Neou0026#39;s 2009 movie u0026quot;Xing Fu Wan Suiu0026quot; lands on a three out of ten stars.”
