To me, watching an animated film is an safe move to avoid disappointment.

2nd Movie - You are the apple of my Eye (Chinese Film)
Regrets we do have.
Love at the first sight, we do experience in our life.
These two themes, love and regrets have touched the hearts of my movie lovers for the past 1 month. With posting of the OST of "You are the apple of my Eye", and the "Must Watch" postings, which sort of influence my decision to watch a Chinese film out of the blue.

Personal Rating: 3.8 out of 5.
Storyline and setting hilariously portrayed the "good old times" we used to have, probably trying hard to date an ideal girl, skipping school, and the fond memories that is hardly remembered thus it is a right strategy and the success of this movie.
I will not be surprise if this is one of the most selling Chinese films in Singapore for FY2011.
