Wikipedia article
'Love Actually... Sucks!' is a 2011 Hong Kong movie, directed by Hong Kong Chinese film producer Scud (Danny Cheng Wan-Cheung ). The film's title is a humorous wordplay on the romantic comedy film 'Love Actually', as it deals with similar complicated and interconnected relationships. It was released at the 47th Chicago International Film Festival, in October 2011. It explores several themes traditionally regarded as 'taboo' in Hong Kong society, in an unusually open, convention-defying way, featuring frequent full-frontal nudity. It is the fourth of seven publicly released films by Scud.
Plot
'Love Actually... Sucks!' was inspired by real-life events, and opens with a dramatic wedding feast. It tells a variety of stories about love that has gone wrong: a brother and sister in an illicit relationship, a married painter who falls in love with his young life model, a dance school teacher who becomes involved with his senior student, a role-playing lesbian couple, and a complex love triangle. The film celebrates the belief that life is love.[http://www.medialuna.biz/films/descr_love-actually-sucks.html Love Actually Sucks] Media Luna Biz Films Access date: 2011-09-16[http://www.fridae.asia/newsfeatures/2011/07/25/11032.love-actually-sucks-scud-s-latest-film-censored Love Actually Sucks - Scud's latest film censored] Fridae Asia 2011-07-25 Access date: 2011-09-16

Production
A memorable scene in the movie shows a woman performing oral sex on her boyfriend. Scud confirmed the act was unsimulated. "Linda So was at first concerned if she was going to be able to do it. The scene took five takes to film, and Haze Leung quipped, 'One more take and I would have come.' When we where done, Linda and Haze collapsed in laughter. They are real professionals," Scud said."
