welcome to the wedding game ---- Fann wong and christ

A romantic comedy The Wedding Game is unfortunately quite devoid of laughs or excitement.
Vikki (Fann Wong) and Jack (Christopher Lee), who have always kept their private lives secret, are now about to get married after Jack proposes to Vikki. The public cheers, the media applauds. Alas the much publicized wedding is no more than a ploy coined by their respective managers, Tom (Blackie) and May (Alice Lau).

In reality life celebrity news, you’ll definitely see the similarities with the real-life couple themselves. Pity then that with such a rich premise for satire, the movie fails to develop beyond its central conceit to deliver a credible enough story.

Instead, it is content to let the two stars bicker and brawl for more than half the time in various childish means. There’s Vikki and Jack quarrelling at a photo-shoot at the beach, there’s Vikki and Jack quarrelling over another photo-shoot at a studios. Not to mention the physical gags that they play on each other just to embarrass or get back at the other.

Endearing to a certain point, they eventually get tiresome and then just tedious to sit through.
Perhaps the worse tedium is the lack of any character development of Vikki and Jack. Besides the fact that Vikki has a softer, much gentler side to her antagonistic nature with Jack, we know very little about who these two characters are. It is as if the audience is forced to rely on their knowledge of Fann and Chris to infer the nature of their onscreen personas.
