dreamity Andy Lau, have been my idol in the Hong Kong movie scene and so is Sammi Cheng which also mesmerises me with her superb singing talent. A beautiful couple amidst the backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan Hong Kong. Two vivid lovers too in love with each other, but one of them is more aware of the reality of life thus lets his precious lover amuse herself thus amusing him also. A loving couple since school times and have been looting together and perfecting the job after repeated success. Mr. Do(Andy Lau)was analysed with a terminal disease and thus played up an act to provoke Mrs. Do(Sammi Cheng)until she files for divorce to have a chance to tell her about his sickness. Never did he thought that she didn't believe it and fakes her own sickness. Not wanting to feel more hurt himself he decided to leave town and retired to Italy to relax and retire to his sickness. To keep his lover occupied and not suffer his loss he assigned Mrs. Allen to arrange precious jewellery, of which his wife loves the most to be offered to lure her to steal again and again and again...

Wes Wang Somehow most of the people here reviewing did not seem to get the plot...THIS REVIEW IS REALLY SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THE FILM BUT FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE ENDING.The pair divorced two years ago from the movie scene was simply because Mr. To knew he was sick and dying.He then let her enjoy her life a little and look for someone she could remarry.The fact that he stole the necklace in the end for her (in the help of the others), was because he wanted to give her hope that he was still somewhere watching her and caring about her, even though he was buried to the ground by then. This is how much love there is.This is a really romantic movie just like Jonnie To's "My Left Eye Sees Ghosts". If you have seen that one, you will easily get the emotion from this movie.

NightFlights-1 Caution: This review mentions certain spoilers in the movie, don't read this unless you've already watched the movie or just don't care at all.After watching this movie, I must say I'm torn between of giving this movie a decent and a bad rating. A big part of you wants you to see both of them together however it doesn't end like that. At the end of the movie, I ended up having mixed feelings about it and felt a little confused. I'm guessing the director, like mentioned earlier, is trying to portray love and happiness in a different light rather than following the usual trend of two people ending up together. (I don't claim to be a Johnnie To expert or anything, but after reading the previous reviews I'm guessing the endings of his movies with Andy Lau and Sammy Cheung are usually different from this one and I'll probably end up liking those movies more than this one) The main reason why I'm struggling how I feel about this particular movie is because of the style Johnnie To uses to portray love between the two couples. I had a little difficult time trying to keep up with the couple's true feelings for each other and the changes in the dynamic atmosphere. For instance, there's the scene where Sammi is in bed in the hospital; before you know it, Andy is too. I wasn't sure how to interpret it as a comic relief or as a serious situation. Then right after the bed scene in the hospital, I had a hard time readjusting to the mood afterward when both are out of the hospital. This happened to me maybe twice, but I won't go any further than this example I just wrote about. In the end, I was a little confused why the ending happened the way it did, but I guess I'll have to accept it as the director's way of giving the movie a different approach and try something different for once. If a person can follow the movie just fine and is able to deviate from the American norm for romantic comedy movies, then I think they would enjoy the movie more than most. But this movie went through too many twists for me to truly enjoy this movie to its full potential.

coffee_N_cigz Sammi Cheng & Andy Lau are coupled yet again in their 3rd film -- YESTERDAY ONCE MORE -- directed by HK's actioneer Johnnie To...fans of To's action films will be disappointed to find not a single gun was used in the filming...furthermore, fans of Cheng & Lau's previous films, NEEDING YOU & LOVE ON A DIET, will also be disappointed to find that YESTERDAY is no where near as funny or endearing...Mr. & Mrs. To (Lau & Cheng) are a divorced couple...both affluent HK citizens...both incredibly mischievous...both just happened to be professional thieves -- 'two birds of the same feather'....A couple years earlier, they divorced over an inability to find middle ground on splitting the loot...Now she's remarrying...to the son of a rich heiress -- a total momma's boy (Carl Ng) through & through...The soon-to-be mother-in-law (Jenny Woo) is suspicious of Mrs. To's past & thinks she's only marrying her son for the family jewels -- the heiress' priceless ruby necklace...The necklace is stolen...is it Mrs. To's materialistic eye that gets the best of her?... or is it her ex-husband, Mr. To's way of sabotaging the marriage to steal the jewels for himself?...This is not a movie about two pple falling in love or rekindling a love...its about two pple who have always been in love but have somehow been to foolish to realize it...they let pride & greed overwhelm them...Overall: YESTERDAY is one part caper/heist film & one part homage to classic Hollywood glamour from its golden years -- i.e. Cary Grant & Grace Kelly's TO CATCH A THIEF...Johnnie To is riding too heavily on Cheng/Lau's chemistry from their previous films...hoping Cheng/Lau's immense popularity & fan base will be enough justification for this third film....I think Sammi Cheng is one of the most likable/charming entertainers working t'day...& Lau is definitely the Tom Cruise of Asian cinema...I really enjoyed their first two films & consider the Cheng/Lau pairing comparable to those classic Hollywood couples of the 40's & 50's...but YESTERDAY falls very short of expectations...terrible writing, ridiculous situations, product placements galore, & all the subplots & supporting characters were unnecessary...come to think of it...this film was unnecessary...unless you just love celebrity watching...
