Sealed with a Kiss is a romantic movie with several twists and turns that makes it different then the typical romantic movie. The love triangle in the movie soon turns out to be somewhat like an pentagon.. I've lost count. This makes the movie interesting, since it's all too common now to see a love triangle that comes to the same cobnclusion. This movie is a memorable one.

How is this memorable? I liked the sort-of-dark mood and atmosphere of the movie dripped over the sad stories of the characters themselves. Along with the variety of camera shots, it was really something refreshing to come along in terms of romantic movies in 1999. The performances given by Louis Koo who plays "Gum Shui", a mute orphan who runs a motel/bar with him and his friend after his guardian left. I was surprised to see how well he did with his role. It was great!!! There's more to Louis Koo then the usual cop/gangster movies! The actress who played Koo's friend, was very good as well. Then there was Yoyo Mung, "Mun Mun". Her role was a bit complicated for her to handle. Her character is going through heart-break and sorrow, and although Mung tried... something was obviously missing. She was something bland.. and I only wished that the movie had explored the other charcters instead.

The ending to this one movie is definetly something that has came out of the blue. No one would of ever suspected it!! Now was the ending appropriate for the movie? I don't really think so....the movie was powerful in a sense, and it built up a lot of emotions, but the ending doesn't support it. The ending was a surprise and I can't really make a clear connection.

Overall, this movie is good..but the ending really didn't meet the potential of the viewer.

(The catchy romantic melody in the movie was "Sealed with a Kiss" by Gary Lewis ...it's very good!)
