Yes, I finally got the chance to sit down and watch the 1992 Hong Kong romantic comedy "All's Well End's Well" (aka "Ga yau hei si") again here in 2021. I remember having seen the movie back in the time around 2003 and 2007, when I lived in Hong Kong, but I couldn't remember the movie. So of course I took the time to sit down and watch it again.
The amount of writers that worked on this movie is just baffling, no less than 10 people were credited as writers. And one might thing that such a group of people would eventually clutter up a script and make it incomprehensible. But they actually managed to come up with a very funny and enjoyable storyline and script for director Clifton Ko to put to the screen.
The storyline told in "All's Well End's Well" was rather enjoyable from the beginning and up to the very end of the movie. Lots of hilarious moments and the different storylines set for the characters were nicely written and interwoven on the screen, which made for a very watchable movie. And I really enjoyed all the homages and spoof on American movies that were seen throughout the course of the movie, performed by Maggie Cheung and Stephen Chow.
If you are familiar with the Hong Kong cinema, then "All's Well End's Well" holds a very impressive cast ensemble, with the likes of Leslie Cheung, Stephen Chow, Maggie Cheung and Sandra Kwan Yue Ng. They were each very memorable and good in the movie, but for me it was especially the performances of Stephen Chow and Maggie Cheung that carried the majority of the movie.
"All's Well End's Well" is a very enjoyable movie and one that easily brings laughs with it. And it is definitely a movie that you should take the time to watch, especially if you enjoy the Hong Kong cinema.
My rating of this 1992 movie lands on a well-deserved seven out of ten stars.
