I watched this because I am a big Anita Mui fan, and at first I didn't want to watch it because of the reviews. I was definitely prepared for the "Genre" switch halfway through the film but I do believe it's definitely a drama. I loved the beginning, but not so much the ending.

The background shots are beautiful and Anita Mui I thought acted beautifully. It definitely painted a negative image of tourism...but I would compare this film more with Taken.

If you are an Anita Mui fan, she speaks a lot of English here which is great & most of the scenes are of her.

I bought this movie for $4.00 and I don't think i'm going to be watching it over and over again, but I think it's a good movie to add to my collection for the price.

I would recommend this if you want to watch something different in a melancholy tone. The tone is very gloomy / foggy throughout the film. And of course if you are an Anita Mui fan or Risa Junna fan because that means you'd like anything they're in which is my case. :)

Miss Anita Mui! It is actually based on real events, or is it less single travel! Obscure and gloomy without hope and redemption, it is indeed a heart-wrenching holiday!

The movie suffers from the same ailment that befalls most HK made movies in that it has the most ridiculous and contrived plot line. Bad script doesn't belong exclusively to HK movies, of course; Hollywood spews out many as well, but percentage wise, HK takes the cake. What are the odds that the wife and mistress would join the same tour in Europe on the same day! Okay, I can roll with that since the whole premise of the story rests of their meeting and becoming friends. Then near the end, when Anita walks all the way back to town--with her luggage, no less--when it is shown that the train has taken her far, far away, I just rolled my eyes. But at the end, when the women, instead of running to the hotel lobby for help (it is a classy hotel but it seems totally deserted, which is ridiculous), and not calling the police beforehand, they run out to the dessert, which is at the back of the hotel, and there is not a single person around, and without yelling for help!!! That was just plain moronic script writing. The whole situation is so manufactured to illicit people's emotion that I realize why it belongs in a bargain bin that I found it.

I've never seen a film of Anita Mui's when she was still with us, so there is an air of poignancy, especially in a film like this. The story of two ladies, Michele (Anita Mui) and Miki (Junna Risa), meet on a tour bus in France and bond. This part of the film is great, they seem to have an affection for each other (not sexually). There is an interesting twist to this tale, in that Michele's husband has a mistress, who turns out to be, of course, Miki. How they play off this revelation is good, especially the betrayal in Michele's eyes. Both Ms. Mui and Ms. Risa are very pretty, and the cinematography of this film lends to the atmosphere, painting it gray, yellow etc. In the middle of the film, Miki gets abducted and Michele goes to the police. She is hell bent on finding her, and enlists help from a cab driver (this is in Morocco). I wondered how Moroccans felt watching this, their country is not looked at in a favorable light. I didn't expect the depth of this drama. I wanted to know the end way before it happened. Not a great film, it still held my interest throughout. RIP Ms. Anita Mui. You are really someone special.
