7. "Table for Six"

"Table for Six," directed by unconventional director Sunny Chan and starring Hong Kong's top local stand-up comedian Dayo Wong, follows three half-siblings who meet up at a family reunion. The siblings are shocked to discover that the eldest brother's ex-girlfriend is now dating the middle brother. Worse still, the siblings uncover many more secrets throughout the reunion, and comedic disaster ensues. The Hong Kong romantic comedy was a pleasant surprise this year thanks to its hilarious and exquisite but down-to-earth Hong Kong style. It was also a box office hit in its local market, grossing HK$77 million to become the biggest-grossing Chinese comedy ever in the region. It is worth adding here that another Hong Kong film, "Warriors of Future," also made box office history, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time in the Hong Kong market, raking in HK$82 million in total, a breakthrough for sci-fi films. However, when compared to its stunning visual effects and action scenes, the script of this latter film left a lot to be desired.
