This 2003 movie "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" (aka "San jaat si mooi 2") is a continuation of the 2002 movie "Love Undercover". And I did enjoy the first movie, so of course I was looking forward to getting to watch the sequel.
However, while "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" was enjoyable, it just wasn't really as good as the first movie. The storyline told in this 2003 sequel just didn't have the charm and wits that the first movie had. And that was a shame, because it was badly needed in the movie.
The story told in "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission" was a bit all over the place and it never really felt like writers Sunny Chan and Joe Ma brought the movie full circle. I felt that there were too many loose ends and unfinished things throughout the course of the movie.
Sure, it was nice to have most of the original cast return to reprise their characters in this sequel, just a shame that they weren't given a properly concocted script and storyline to work with.
If you are a fan of the Hong Kong cinema, then you will be in company with the likes of Miriam Chin Wah Yeung, Daniel Wu, Shiu Hung Hui and Suet Lam, so there is a good amount of familiar faces and good talents on the cast list.
My rating of "Love Undercover 2: Love Mission", however, lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars. The movie just had too many shortcomings and it wasn't really as funny or outstanding as the first movie.
