Synopsis :
After the “Earthling” Cheung Shen Ren (Louis Koo) loses
Cheng Zixin (Gao Yuanyuan) to the “Martian” Fang Qihong, he decides to keep it
cool and reverts to single-hood graciously. Cheng and Fang, meanwhile, live
happily ever after…… That seems to be the fairytale ending from DON’T GO
BREAKING MY HEART. In reality, the story is far from over: the three finds
themselves once again entangled in an even more complicated relationship in
DON’T GO BREAKING MY HEART 2.
After jilted by Cheng, Cheung starts dating “Goddess of
Stocks” Yang Yang Yang, who works in an opposite building. Yang has been turning
a blind eye to Cheung’s philandering until she meets Paul, a romantic returnee
from France whose devotion has melted her heart.
Afraid to lose his lover again, Cheung determines to settle
down and marry Yang, but fate works in mysterious ways. It turns out that
Cheng’s wedding with Fang has been delayed and she is now directly working
under Yang. A chance encounter with Cheng again makes Cheung question his
decision, because even though he appears to have emerged unscathed from their
previous relationship, he was profoundly hurt and still hasn’t fully recovered.
Paul is in love with Yang; Yang has accepted Cheung’s
proposal; Cheung is unable to get Cheng off his mind; and Cheng is about to
marry Fang. A quadrangular relationship among five people – who is really the
love of their life?

Review:
This is the sequence to the first movie of the same title without the 2 behind.
Unfortunately, I have not seen the first movie. I shall make an effort to watch
it later.
Don’t go breaking my
heart 2 is a romantic comedy which focus on city love relationship. In this
movie, there are more than the usual triangle love relationships which make the
relationships a complex one. With the love hate relationships and misunderstandings,
it makes this movie interesting and comical.
The use of two buildings with open windows creates some
memorable comical scenes which brought some really loud laughter from the
audiences. Another interesting thing that drew a lot of laughter came from the
Louis Koo inability to take control of his testosterone which drives his
behaviour.
Besides giving the audience some happy moments, the movie
does relate a strong message to courting couple. Loving a person is to accept
what he is and not what you want him to be. Thus, love is blind and you cannot
use some complex logical deduction to make your relationship decision.
Ratings:
In my opinion, it may be a bit silly in some of moments in
the movie but overall, it opened the minds of courting couple with a fair share
of jokes and comical scenes. With Miriam Yeung appearing in this comedy movie,
it will definitely keep my face stretched with uncontrollable laughter. I shall
rate it 3.5/5 stars.
The movie will be showing in cinema on 13 November 2014.
