Romance, gone wrong 

Story: Three chronic bachelors see their life go into a tizzy when they fall in love. It doesn't take long before they begin to miss the guy bonding and realise that girls are truly from Venus, which for them must be the most unfriendly, irrational planet in the solar system. 

Movie Review: The film has an interesting premise. It tries to investigate the basic incompatibility of the yin and the yang through a set of urban yuppies who try to build and unbuild relationships in the harsh metropolis. The gender bias and miscomprehensions have an interesting twist as the three young bachelors give up their carefree camaraderie to cope with the unending demands of their girlfriends.

But so far, so good. The film has two major problems which make it somewhat tedious viewing. First, it stretches a paper-thin story to inordinate lengths and becomes a real test of patience. The plot doesn't seem to move ahead from the fight-and-make-up sequences between the three ill-matched couples. The fights become repetitive and you end up wishing they just give each other a break.... And you, a break too.

Secondly is the appalling gender skew. Okay, relationships go wrong, but is it right to blame all the misdeeds on the foul female species. Doesn't seem fair, really.

The film had promise and does have a few funny sequences. But by and large, it's a case of promises unfulfilled.
