Love Matters

Attire: White Dress with Black Flowers trimming

"Love Matters" is a movie about the lives of three guys - 52-year-old Tan Bo Seng, his 17-year-old teenage son Benny and 36-year-old Jeremy, Bo Seng's 'adopted' brother and their journey in finding love.

Bo Seng attempts to revive the passion with his wife. Jeremy is a playboy who who finally finds true love after 'learning' his lesson. Benny falls for his classmate's girlfriend only to realise he had been taken for a ride.

It was particularly awkward for me when half of the movie shows how deprived Bo Seng is and how he attempts to get 'it' from his wife each time, failing miserably till he had to force himself on her.

I should have read up on the movie, thought it was purely a CNY kinda movie which the usual dramas and heartaches.

But the heartwenching moments that tugged my heart strings was probably when Benny was sabotaged and was suffering in silence, hiding in the quiet corner of school after all the mocking from his peers.
