    Surely this was a spoof...
    I was fortunate enough to get to sit down in 2021 to watch the 2011 Hong Kong comedy "East Meets West". Mind you, I hadn't even heard about this movie prior to now, 10 years after it was initially released. But it being a Hong Kong comedy, of course I sat down to watch it, without a shadow of a doubt.

    And when I sat the impressive cast ensemble as the movie started and their names were credited on the screen, I must admit that I thought I was going to be in for a treat.

    Turns out that this movie was not without the scopes of my liking, nor even within the confines of what I would consider entertaining. The storyline was just a scrambled heap of rubbish that made little coherent sense. And to be honest, the movie was just way too offbeat and odd for me.

    So not even the impressive cast ensemble could manage to salvage the movie. And this cast list includes the likes of Hong Kong names such as Karen Mok, Ekin Cheng, Eason Chan, Kenny Bee and Jaycee Chan. Granted, I will say that it was definitely a treat to see Karen Mok in her particular role, which just goes to show what a versatile actress she really is.

    I literally have no clue as to what writer and director Jeffrey Lau was thinking when concocting this movie, nor what the purpose of the story was. Because it sure wasn't entertaining.

    My rating of "East Meets West" lands on a mere three out of ten stars, and that is based on the impressive cast list, the production value, and the wardrobe. But from an entertainment point of view, then this movie was just a swing and a miss.
