That's the Way I Like It

1998-Romantic Comedy
Singapore

This film intrigued me due to the fact that I have never seen a film from Singapore and wanted to see how their doing in the Asian Cinema. Given, sure this film is 10 years old, and haven't heard from them since.... but there must be a reason why this made critical world notice.

Synopsis:
A boy named Hock is stuck helping his family get by, overshadowed by his younger brothers success in the 'medical' field and stuck in a dead end job at a grocery store. His dream of owning a Motorcycle, and a life mimicking his hero Bruce Lee seems further and further away, till one day he accidentally watches 'Saturday Night Fever' with friends creating a whole new world of 'Disco' and romance.

All-in-All:
This film has lots of charm.
The characters are simple, the plot has holes all over the place, especially concerning his younger brothers conviction of wanting to be a woman. This film of course is a time peace and it is very interesting on how the movie 'Saturday Night Fever' change pop culture in Singapore. I enjoyed this film for what it was, cute, innocent, and simple.
