It Had To Be You

From hkadb.net

Ekin Cheng and Karena Lam are sparring would-be lovers in It Had To Be You, an urban romantic comedy from the long-missed United Filmmakers Organization (UFO). Once upon a time, UFO made it their mission to create intelligent Hong Kong movies about people and relationships, and not kung-fu action epics starring a variety of now-retired actors and actresses. The plan worked, but since HK Cinema is now largely composed of movies about people and relationships, the sudden appearance of a UFO-branded film brings higher expectations. Certain signifiers do need to exist: urban trappings, upscale characters, and slightly overdone existentialism among them. However, given UFO's past pedigree, the movie also has to be good. Hell, given the current state of HK Cinema, it NEEDS to be good. Anything less would be a disappointment.
