SYNOPSIS:
Airline employee Yutong (Wilson Chen) falls in love at first sight when Leslie (Gigi Leung) comes to his counter to check in, but he's too shy to say anything, and chance passes him by. One year later, Leslie shows up at Yutong's house as his new sister-in-law. Since his brother (Shao Bing) is in China, the awkwardly righteous Yutong takes it upon himself to look after Leslie, which consists mostly of giving her earnest talks about drinking less and dressing more conservatively. Though still very much enamored by Leslie, Yutong is too diffident and upright to profess his feelings - until he discovers that his brother is having an affair.

REVIEW:
" There's some decent characterization here, and as written, Yutong is an endearing character. Unfortunately, Wilson Chen is only a shade above intolerably dull in the part, giving the character an earnest righteousness but absolutely none of the charm that Chen is capable of. Chen seems to be acting in a completely different movie than Gigi Leung, who still shows that she's got romantic comedy charm. Funny faces, girlish giggles, animated body language - even in her thirties, Leung has the goods. The problem is that she's hawking her romcom wares with the wrong partners. The script itself is not exceptionally good or bad, but it's killed by the abysmal direction, which bores from practically minute one. Joe Ma was once a youth comedy king, but his touch is muted here, and he and co-director Leefire (a.k.a. stage actor Fire Lee Ka-Wing, who appeared in Ma's Love Undercover 3) bring neither storytelling skill nor visual wit to their presumably entertaining movie. Bad continuity, choppy editing, a drab production, terrible music, inconsistent acting - this film is a clinic in substandard filmmaking.
Give Love opened in very few theaters in Hong Kong, guaranteeing box office death and a quick berth on home video. However, it's likely the filmmakers don't really care about the film's Hong Kong release because it already went wide in China and did rather well there, outselling Taiwan blockbuster Cape No.7 handily. Congratulations should be in order for the dough earned, but Give Love is so unimpressive as an actual film that the Film Development Fund could justifiably ask for its money back. Give Love is dull, uninteresting, and becomes disposable and also-ran after only ten or fifteen minutes. Even Gigi Leung, or a reference to the work of Haruki Murakami (Yutong's love for Leslie is inspired by Murakami's short story "On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning") can’t salvage this thing. In the end, one can only hope that the filmmakers are pocketing their paychecks with some feeling of regret. Shame would be an appropriate emotion too. "
