"The Leftover Women Are Crazy": True Love Should Be "Pregnant"

"Pregnant first, then fall in love" breaks the regular sequence of love occurrences, full of novelty and sense of story, which once attracted the attention of the audience, but with the repeated appearance of this pattern in film and television dramas, true love should be born of "pregnancy". Gradually become a kind of love cliché, and can't make too many new ideas.

"The Leftover Girls Are Crazy" tells a story like this again: Zoe, played by Jennifer Lopez, did not find true love either. She stepped into the ranks of older leftover girls and made a plan to avoid loneliness. Backup plan, decided to undergo artificial insemination to prepare to become a single mom. But just after walking out of the hospital, she met Stan, and the repeated encounters paved the way for the love of the two. But this is not an ordinary love. As soon as love is budding, it has to accept the changes brought about by Zoe's pregnancy. Facing the new life, everything seems unprepared, including physical, psychological, and the relationship between two people. relationship test.

Different from the warmth and touch brought by the delicate, hazy, gradually budding and warming love in the Taiwanese drama "Fated to Love You", the love described in "The Leftover Girl is Crazy" focuses more on facing the pressure and stress of pregnancy. Fear is intended to reflect a kind of commitment, trust and tolerance, less romantic but closer to life. If the film can enrich the details and work hard in this direction, there are reasons to watch it, but the film puts a lot of emphasis on it. pregnant. Different from the confidence, bluntness, ease, firmness and love of new life in "Juno", in order to pursue crazy effects, this film will bring all kinds of body out of shape, gluttony and lethargy, desire to suffer, money pressure and so on. The problem is exaggerated and enlarged, and too many negative renderings have madness and no comedy, which makes the film not only unconvincing in love, but also as a teaching material for expectant mothers and fathers as a pregnancy documentary because it is too inactive and inappropriate.

In the final analysis, this is due to the insufficient skill of the creators. This is the debut work of a TV drama director and a sitcom screenwriter to transform into the big screen. The plot and the plot of the TV series, as well as the comedy and love are empty of form and lack of feeling, Stan wakes up in the middle of the night pancakes and the ritual childbirth scene does not cause a knowing smile other than feeling absurd, and the relationship between Zoe and Stan The occurrence and development of true love are all too far-fetched, empty and conceptual. If there is any point in this love that can be remembered by the audience, it may be the stubborn stalker that Stan pursued when he was in love. A cheat sheet.

Of course, there are also memorable moments in the film. One is the dog pulling the cart. Zooey’s pet dog is the most agile and cute in the film, but it has attracted countless likes in just a few scenes; the other is Stan and Park When chatting with the father of the child who was playing in the middle, the father of that child had a classic feeling about having a child: "It's annoying, it's annoying, it's annoying, and then for a moment it's all worth it; it's annoying, it's annoying It's annoying, it's annoying, and there's a moment when you think it's all worth it...". With these two points, it is worth watching this movie.
