“All U Need Is Love” is a Chinese comedy about the Coronavirus pandemic. I predicted early on in the pandemic that we would soon be faced with many films about the pandemic but I didn’t expect a comedy film to come out so soon. Featuring an all-star cast, this was apparently made to raise funds for the Hong Kong film industry workers affected by the pandemic.

A luxurious hotel in Hong Kong faces strict quarantine measures after it is believed to be a source of a deadly virus. We follow the assorted guests as they struggle to deal with being trapped in the hotel. The guests want out and the staff are overworked but government authorities are keeping them locked inside.

If you’ve seen a lot of Hong Kong films from the last few decades, you may recognise some of the cast members. We have Eric Tsang from “Infernal Affairs”, Kent Cheng from the “Ip Man” sequels and Yuen Qiu from “Kung Fu Hustle”. Even if you’re not familiar with Hong Kong cinema, you’ll likely recognise Jackie Chan (“Rush Hour”). Sadly, Chan only appears for a matter of seconds. None of the characters in this film are funny or endearing. Everybody is just a bore to watch.

“All U Need Is Love” might be marginally fun for Chinese audiences but I can’t imagine anybody outside China getting any enjoyment from this. It’s a bad film and some people may even find it a bit distasteful to see a comedy film making fun of the pandemic while it’s still ongoing. The only reason to watch this one is if you’re like me and want to watch every Jackie Chan film out there. However, Chan appears so briefly that you could almost blink and miss him. I just hope that we don’t have to get too many more films about the Coronavirus pandemic because it’s been such a boring experience that I don’t want my entertainment to remind me of it.
