Special Preview of Love off the Cuff
I attended the Special Preview of 'Love off the Cuff' which will premier and open in local cinemas on the 4th of May 2017.
Love off the Cuff is the third
instalment of the 3-part romantic comedy, following Love in the Puff and Love
in the Buff. The third edition of the love story explores the relationship between Cherie
(Miriam Yeung) and Jimmy (Shawn Yue), who have been together for several years.
Jimmy has already changed quite a lot from the very first time Cherie met him, but there are
still flaw and some things which Cherie is unhappy about. An example is Jimmy spending money on unnecessary
things, as this really irks Cherie because she feels they should be trying to save money together for their
future.
This movie emphasises a lot about the
downfall of the relationship due to Jimmy behaving like a kid and not giving
Cherie the sense of security she wanted most. As Cherie is older than
Jimmy in the show, she feels that he has never grown up and is not ready to
step into the next stage with her. This resulted in her having second thoughts if she
should continue their relationship.
It is a pity that Cherie was not
given an emotional arc for viewers to understand her fear and effort in trying to work through the couple's
impasse.
I love the horror story opening, and
it was so scary that my companion kept asking me if we were in the wrong cinema
catching the wrong movie. This is no surprise as this has always been how the
film starts ever since the first movie and has been a running gag abd re-occurring theme. They did it again with a well-done
horror story plot!
Don't forget to wait till the
post-credits scenes for more revelations on the story. As a whole, it is an
entertaining and heart-warming movie. It makes you laugh and tear at the same
time, especially when imagining if the same thing were to happen in your own life. If you are a fan of this
series, then you should not miss Love off the Cuff.
