Editor’s Review of My Kung Fu Sweetheart – Score 5/10
My Kung Fu sweet heart has a brilliant cast with the lovely Cecilia Cheung, Yuen Wah, Wong Yet Fei and Lam Suet. The problem is the dialogue is hopeless, the characters shallow, the humour cheap and idiotic and the Kung Fu sloppy and low quality. The actors are constrained by one dimensional characters and have no chance of rescuing the movie. The use of a Condor suit just adds insult to injury and further detracts from the quality of the movie. You’d need to be a rabid fan or extremely bored to find watching this movie worth while.
