Mulheres Que Flertam (2014)

A ROM COM for people who don't like ROM COMS

Hiya,

This page has a description of this film that is appallingly bad. It's actually rather simple and should go something like this --

"Heartbroken Girl enlists her babe friends to convert her to a hottie to win her best male friend's love."

This story has all the ROM COM tropes -- but the magic here is the twist that Zhou Xun adds by simply being... Zhou Xun. I genuinely believe she is the century's answer to Bette Davis. Which is the highest compliment I can pay an actress. It means she is an icon. That can play any role well or better. And anything she touches usually shines.

Feminists may initially resent the tone this film takes with 'being a hottie to land the man'. I get it. The movie appears to suggest that if you're not a whiny little 14 year old slut -- men can't even see you. But don't abandon it. The message evolves.

This will never be thought of as one of Zhou Xun's best films. But it's a really well written, shot, directed acted film -- and therefore should be.

Cute and funny

Cute, funny, entertaining rom com. I was all set to give it a 9 because I did enjoy watching, the ending was a happy one but there wasn't any kiss scene between them but I felt that I would watch it again.

But then came the real ending and OMG was it good! They did the scene in Ghost... yeah that one, complete with him being shirtless! Very hot kisses! Popped it right up to a 9.5 (yeah, I'm shallow like that, don't judge) 😊

It didn't hurt that Huang Xiao Ming as Xiao Gong (the ML) was adorably hot!

Definitely one to watch, especially if you need a palate cleanser from all the more heavier dramas.
