We Are Family (2006)
Starring: Alan Tam, Haken Lee, Wing Chung


Description: Pop superstar duo Alan Tam and Hacken Lee, fresh from their hugely successful concerts, star in their first movie project together! When Lee proposes to his girlfriend, she tells him that he will not marry her after meeting her eccentric family members. Undaunted, Lee decides to meet them to get their consent. But nothing prepares him for their quirkiness and outrageous antics! With Alan Tam playing four of the in-laws, WE ARE FAMILY is a hilarious comedy guaranteed to bring laughs for the whole family!

My Review: I just watched this film yesterday on a boring Thursday. This film is okay in terms of recent Hong Kong comedy. It provides some laughter every now and then. There's somewhat of a plot which tries to copy the american version of "Meet the Parents". Alan Tam took on many roles in the film including the grandmother, father, brother, etc., you probably get the point. The movie can be entertaining, but as the movie drags on as Hackan continue to meet the rest of his fiance's family, you may end up dosing off like me. The actors does have their bright spots, but definitely not a comedy that you will enjoy with your date. I prefer watching or listening to them sing than acting on this film, it seems as if they got together and created the script and film in a day. The film can't really be tolerated after the first hour because some of the jokes in there weren't that funny anymore, sometimes the director tries to hard to make it funny.

Overall: 4 out of 10. Must watch if you like Alan Tam or Hacken Lee. Skip it because it may be another cheap Wong Jing films
