Those of you who have seen either of the other two "Feel 100%" films will recognize similarities between those and this recent installment. Apparently taken from a series of comics, they're basically about the misadventures of young 20 somethings in love (or out of it!) While some people have remarked that this 2001 release is a remake of the original (starring Ekin Cheng, Eric Kot and Sammi Cheng) I don't really see that. Certainly, there aren't many differences in terms of BASIC plot between all three movies, but I felt the over all feel (no pun intended!) of this one was quite different. For one thing, the characters were all just a bit weird! Not that this is necessarily a BAD thing, I just found myself being pretty puzzled quite a bit! Eason and Daniel are childhood buddies and roomates, basically out clubbing at night in search of women. One night they have a run-in with bartender something-Chow (didn't catch her English name), who becomes Daniel's girlfriend. Miriam is Daniel's older sister who suddenly returns one day from traveling abroad and deposits herself in their apartment. She obviously has had a crush on Eason for some time though their relationship is pretty much hostile. Guess unrequited love will do that to you. Joey Yung enters the picture as a friend of Miriam's who Eason is immediately smitten with. At this point, I have to say I really couldn't blame him, Joey is very lovely in this one and not at all annoying (as she was in My Schoolmate the Barbarian). You're meant to root for poor outcast Miriam, but who WOULDN'T pick Joey over her; Joey is a college professor, wizkid, gorgeous and has a pretty singing voice. Miriam is an oddball, author wannabe and a spazz! It must run in the family, though, because after Chow dumps Daniel for her ex-boyfriend Eric Kot he sneaks into her apartment, pitches a tent and won't leave! Uh, ya, that would win me over! Like I said, weird! Anyway, cute film, not hugely memorable with some decent performances.

Eric Kot plays a totally different character than from the other 2 movies, so the movies seem to be related only in title!! What a shame, nothing much happens and it ends. I did see 2 endings, well i think it is 2 endings. One sees it end with Jerry and Hui loks sister get together Another ending sees Hui lok carry Felicia to the hospital and she has to choose between Hui lok and Eric kots character!! Well i am pretty sure it was 2 endings....... I think i am generous giving this 5/10 Reviewer Score: 5

Reviewed by: Inner Strength Date: 01/12/2002 Summary: I agree with Paul Fonoroff It's a shame, because I quite liked the original, and the second (Feel 100% Once More)was barely likable in comparison, but they should no way have made another one after that. It's pretty bad all round. Rating: 2/5 (This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)

Reviewed by: Paul Fonoroff Date: 05/22/2001 Another example of another series going down the tubes. If, for comparison purposes, the first Feel 100% gets 100 points, the following year's Feel 100%…Once More deserves about 70. The new millennium's Feel 100% barely scrapes by with 25. Based on a Japanese comic book, the buoyant look at young "adults" facing life and love in the big city had a nice feel and provided some good vibes when director Joe Ma first took on the project in 1996. But Jerry (Eason Chan, in the role originated by Ekin Cheng) and Hui Lok (Daniel Chan substituting for Eric Kot) are now so unattractively "cute", their adventures so chock full of contrivances and lacking in human warmth, that they-and the film-can be best summed up in one word: obnoxious. Matters are not helped by the women in their lives. Miriam Yeung is Hui Foon, Lok's sister who holds a torch for Jerry. Her screen presence comes across as sham Sammi Cheng (who, incidentally, played the love interest in the first Feel 100%), so grating that it is no surprise Jerry has eyes for So (Joey Yung), a university lecturer who takes him on as a research subject. Joey Yung is virtually the only cast member who emerges from Feel 100% II unscathed, her innocent intellectual almost endearing. Lok falls head over heels for the pretty Felicia (Chow Lai-kei), finding himself the third corner in a love triangle with her ex-beau (an unamusing cameo by Eric Kot). When Lok moves his tent into her living room to provide a wedge between Felicia and her now ex-ex (who once again shacks up with Felicia), the filmmakers handle the situation in such a juvenile manner that one wishes they'd just copy Friends or some other well written sit-com. Situations are ripe with dramatic-comic-zany possibilities, but director/co-writer Ma seems to have phoned this one in. Not unexpectedly, the various loose ends are tied up into a neat little package in typical sit-com tradition, ending up with a predictable but unconvincingly mawkish speech in which Jerry declares his love for Foon. One cannot help but suspect the real reason for his sudden ardour is Foon's unconvincingly sudden surge to fame as a best-selling author. Jerry and Foon deserve each other. The audience deserves better. 1 1/2 Stars This review is copyright (c) 2001 by Paul Fonoroff. All rights reserved.

The story is about typical love triangles, with some jokes around, especially from Eason as Jerry who is a very childish womanizer. Miriam Yeung displayed an exceptional performance, while Eason Chan is following next. Joey Yung played well despite the fact that she was not the main focus on the film. I enjoyed watching it and hope that other people would have so. 3.5/5

Reviewed by: Paul Fox Date: 04/04/2001 Summary: Same Old Feeling Found In Feel 100% II Feel 100% II is the third in director Joe Ma's series about young people in love. The first two stories "Feel 100%" (1996) and "Feel 100% Once More" (1997) featured the ups and downs in the intimate relationships among three friends. His new film follows a similar format, but introduces a new cast of characters with new attitudes. While the characters are indeed different the storyline is quite similar, with love triangles running rampant through the script. Gone are Ekin and Sammy, being replaced by Eason Chan and Yeung Chin. Daniel Chan and Joey Yung also round out the cast of young new faces. The actors give considerably good performances, but some of the chemistry that was apparent in the original series is lacking here. The best performance comes from Yeung Chin as Hui Lok's (Daniel Chan) sister. The film is quite well scripted and there are many funny lines throughout. This comes as no surprise given Mr. Ma's success in his prior films. His history with the romance genre in films like "Over the Rainbow, Under the Skirt" (1994), and "The Golden Girls" (1995), has shown his ability to break new ground when serving as both writer and director. But aside from a fresh cast for the millenium, Feel 100% II offers little in the way of anything new. Aside from this fact, the production value is quite good and the film's look lives up to that of its predecessors. In a nutshell, audience members that really liked the first two films, will probably find themselves liking this one as well. For while this sequel may not be better than the original, it certainly 'feels' the same.
