Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Immediately after the scene where Hock runs in full '70s dance getup to meet with Mei and when he finally arrives, there is a truck in the background with a large blue covering on it. The purpose of this vehicle was not only as a set dressing, but it was used to block the camera's view of the catering area so that the crew would not have to move all of the tables and food to another location. more

Ebullient, Exuberant film that Miramax was smart to distribute., 19 June 2001
10/10
Author: admin-13 from Los Angeles, CA

An indie gem from Singapore. In the exuberant yet grounded tradition of Muriel's Wedding... "That's The Way I Like It" (aka Forever Fever) took me into 1977 Singapore, to follow the dream of a regular guy who is discovering his passions in life. Lots of disco music, polyesther, and family conflict doesn't spread thin this tightly and deftly told story. The budget seems meager, but the movie doesn't suffer from that at all. The had enough production quality to tell the story they wished to tell, and congratulations go to Glen Goei and his team for this wonderful tale.
