East Meets West (2011)
Comedy
The story is about a group of seven ordinary people realizing that they are part of the eight heavenly gods and have superpowers. The main character focused is on Sammi, a female character played by Karen Mok whom fell in love with the eighth heavenly gods, the villain portrayed by Eason Chan. Thought that plot was interesting, up until when I finally see the movie, and my reaction was the movie performed very bad and embarrassed the amazing plot! Quite a huge notable casts joined in the film too, including Alex Fong, Ekin Cheng and Jaychee Chan eventhough three of them were given very little roles.
