Review of Second Time Around (2002) by Ws W — 28 Sep 2010
Almost shockingly zane-free Jeff Lau epic featuring charming leads Ekin Cheng and Cecilia Cheung with California as a calculatedly exotic, but essentially unneccessary, geographical backdrop. The time-travel themed screenplay seemingly begs to be mistreaded and abused in the usual Lau fashion by insertion of endless parodies and incomprehensible spontaneous comedy, but Lau keeps things cool, sticking to the weird but strangely consequent elliptical narrative and focusing on the star quality of the actors and the romantic potential of Cheng's and Cheung's odd couple.
