Girls (Chinese Taiwanese Movie)

This is a story of three beautiful best friends, who are in their late 20s and had remained thick as thieves over the years.  They have experienced many things together and individually.

Some incidents almost broke their friendship but in the end they realised that their relationship was better and stronger than with the opposite sex.  They are each other’s support.

They realised that a relationship with the opposite sex should not define any one of them.  Men will come and go, those who would stay should cherish them and never let them go.

But in the meantime, they will keep enjoying their youth.

In the first movie, Xiwen was getting excited to her imminent wedding but only to find out that her intended, Li Wei, was having an affair and had fallen out of love with her.

She was catatonic with shock that her two best friends, Kimmy and Xiaomei acted as her carer while she lived her life in a wheelchair in total and utter shock.

Kimmy, despite being the diva and the poshest of the group was a mother hen. When Xiaomei fell for Jiu Tian, Kimmy tried to break them off as she thought the playboy Jui Tian was not good enough for the rather serious Xiaomei.  She did everything including seducing Jui Tian.

Xiaomei in the end broke up with Jiu Tian because she did realise that they were not suited but in doing so she also broke out of the friendship until when she was in a party, she almost got assaulted and the first person she telephone for help was Kimmy, who dropped everything to help Xiaomei.

The friendship was mended once again.

As to Xiwen, she did come out of her dark place and met a kind and gentle man, Qiao Li.  He said he liked her.  She started thinking about liking him too.

 

Girls Vs Gangsters (2) 2018

Cast:

• Ivy Chen as Xiwen
• Fiona Sit as Kimmy
• Janine Chang as Jialan
• Mike Tyson as Dragon

Girls 2 continues on from the above but Xiaomei is not in the film.  She was replaced by Janine Chang as another good friend of Xiwen.

Girls 2 is about a bachelorette party for Xiwen who was to marry Qiao Li.  The celebration arranged by Kimmy was in Vietnam.

At first Kimmy and Jialan are fighting to the Queen Bee position among the group.  Janine Chang and Fiona Sit were hilarious.

But their holiday in Vietnam did not go as planned as they have encountered some sort of a mafia gang.

After drinking until senseless, Xiwen, Kimmy and Jialan woke up butt in a beach.  Kimmy and Jialan were manacled on a fairly large heavy box.

The three naked ladies went to look for somewhere where they can beg for some clothes.

They were lucky they found a half Korean and half American, who was only too happy to help with their clothing needs, however he can only provide a selection of huge boxing shorts.

Jialan fell madly in love with the half American and half Korean, who reminded her of Song Joong Ki’s character in Descendant of the Sun.  This part is actually the most hilarious.

The film is full of funny adventures and I have to say all the three girls gave their all.

In the end Xiwen got married to Qiao Li, who can only bee seen in back view.
