Meet Gino (Eason Chan), the biggest asshole in Hong Kong. One night he hurts his hand in a car accident and after that, when touching people with the hand, he can feel their pain. This triggers an understanding of others and a reunion with his childhood friend Gillian (Gillian Chung - one half of pop duo The Twins).

In typical Hong Kong comedy fashion, this is one zany ride and a sweet romantic comedy all served in one. While this blend works fairly well, the eccentric character of Jennifer did feel out there even for this movie. Adrian and his team of writers are modest in their vision and by doing so, If U Care... is not deep nor unexpected in terms of characterdevelopment. Having said that, it's very much an enjoyable 100 minutes thanks to the main performers. An expressive Eason Chan has great fun performing both sides of the Gino character and in my mind is the pop star, along with Nic Tse, that has showcased the most potential (in particular when you look at him in Funeral March). Gillian is a sweet presence but, multiple times, directing her to just stand and smile is a bit lazy, even if she does project much by doing so. Also starring Eric Kot, Lam Suet and Hui Siu-Ming.
