这部电影是我拉着倩雯去看的。
因为她喜欢歌舞片，所以我就想着要不要拉她一起去看。
为此，我们就达成了一个协议，那就是她陪我看这部电影，然后我陪她看她想看的。

So here's what I think about the movie. First of all, it was not what I expected at all. I was expecting silly shenanigans and lots of random singing instead of the musicals that I am used to. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the story and quality of songs in the movie. The characters were believable except for this lesbian couple that seemed kinda fake. When the movie introduced the lesbian couple, I actually thought they were girl friends instead of girlfriends. I like that they try to show different people like couples and single people on Valentine's Day. Although it's sad how they shoehorn the message that it's okay to be single when a single woman was buying a rose. The message was kind of like a footnote since the movie still kinda screams that you need to be in love and in a relationship to be happy. The message also falls flat when the woman buying the rose was made to seem pathetic.
The movie also is lacking that they do not show the baker guy's one-sided-love and what they do with the story line. This baker dude supposedly is in love with this girl, Lei Lei for a long time, but we only see him pining for her in the beginning of the movie and by the end of the movie...Bam! He's with the flower shop girl. He came to give his crush a rose chocolate and when his crush dumped her boyfriend, he just goes, 'FXXX it! I'm gonna have dinner with flower shop girl instead of going after my crush who is now available. The girl who I have been pining for a long long time' This is just too weird and abrupt for me.The flower shop girl was also supposed to be okay with secondhand rose chocolates meant fro another chick....totally fiction.
As for the other couple, Lei Lei and her deadbeat boyfriend, I still think she should have dump his ass. He spends money without a thought and Lei Lei seems to be the one paying for it and she still stayed with him for 10 freaking years. I believe that a relationship is a team effort and that both parties should at least work together, not one saving money like crazy while the other spends it. I mean what's going to happen when you do get married? I don't think he will change because even after she tried to dump him, he try to win her back by saying what he's gonna use the money he won for, He didn't really seem to remember he has debts!
Although the movie does have flaws and the message is still messed up, I like the songs and the dynamics between characters. Strangely, the dynamics I do like have nothing to do with love even though it is a romantic movie. I love the relationship of the flower shop girl and her aunt and brother. I like how funny the interaction of customers and the flower shop girl, even if I think it's rude to treat customers that way (if I was the dude, I would have gone elsewhere). However, I do not like the lesbian couple interaction with the other characters. I get that the movie is trying to tell us love comes in a different form but the lesbian couple is not really likable. I believe that love does come in different form but I just find the couple in this movie irritating and sometimes haughty to other people. They seem to think they can steamroller everyone and does not care about others. For example the taxi driver, what did he do that gives you the right to refuse paying? They go to a wedding event thing late and was obnoxious to the organiser, like using the organiser's love life as an example.
对于这部电影，我的评语也不会很多。
当初想要去看是因为电台一直介绍，然后想想应该会不错看。
主要演员都不是我熟悉的面孔，甚至可以说没见过(本人只爱林宥嘉~)。但是我还真的为导演的勇气感到佩服，竟然敢用歌手来演戏！
虽说是歌舞片，但这点还真的是很冒险。
整部片的歌曲都不错听，但并不是能朗朗上口的歌。以歌曲来交代主角的心情还有剧情这点，我真的很喜欢。其中最喜欢的，就是范逸臣的演唱了，那根本就是把剧情推上最高潮，而歌声也太好听了！
要说什么不喜欢的话，就是剧情太单薄了，也没有交代主角的背景。除了蕾蕾和大河的感情以外，其他角色的感情线都不是很符逻辑。
小安和小心的感情，虽说是不打不相识，但也太突然就喜欢对方了，小安不是还在暗恋蕾蕾吗？
小阿姨和师傅的感情更是让我摸不清头脑，两人什么都没做，只是看一眼，就喜欢了？！
女同志的那段，做得非常好，的确是电影的一大亮点。但，除了以她们来表达爱之外，我看不出他们还有什么作用。不过，戏份很多哦！
如果能够交代较多的背景资料，或许观众会更加投入在剧情里。
虽说很多剧情都还不是很稳定，但至少导演想表达的意思都很清楚地表达出来了。
很多事情都不外乎一个字 - 爱。
因为爱你所以和你一起白头；因为爱你所以默默付出；因为爱你所以不理会世俗；因为爱你所以一直努力；因为总会有人爱你，所以你更要爱自己。
In the end, I might have been too analytical in my review for a romantic comedy musical movie. However, I would like to point out that movies reflect the society we live in and the society is also affected by the movies we watch. Although I have been poking at the movie like there's no tomorrow, I would still recommend you to watch this for the music and the good feels you would still get at the end of the movie.
整体来说，这是一部不错的电影，值得进戏院一看。
电影团队也非常用心的呈现很多场景，小心的花店美美的，大河的吉他店也设计得很好，还有的就是开头的花海真的震撼我了！
p.s. 但，说起歌舞片，我还是会大推《如果 爱》。
