Fridae

Not to be confused with Ashley Simpson's song, L.O.V.E, this Taiwanese collection of four short films range from the romantic to the ridiculous. But even the pretty cast of well-known actors can't save this weak and aimless omnibus from sinking into oblivion.

Directed by four first-time directors (online novelist Jiu Ba Dao, well-known lyricist Vincent Fang Wen Shan, commercial director Chen Yi Xian, and TV host Mickey Huang Zi Jiao), this forgettable affair begins with a story of man (Fan Van) who is about to die, so he embarks on a search for another man with a similar voice to his, so the latter can console Fan's loving girlfriend when he dies.

In the second story, Annie Liu plays a woman who has trouble getting over her ex-boyfriend. In the third, Ethan Ruan and Alice Tseng play a couple on the brink of separation. And in the fourth and final story, Tracy Chow plays a nerdy girl yearning for romance.

Yes, the actors are attractive. (Just look at the poster.) But the films aren't particularly good. So we recommend this for T-pop lovers only.
