Scandal Makers -- Film Review


May 19, 2009 CANNES -- "Scandal Makers" sports the hippest grandfather on Korean screens -- a thirtysomething DJ whose charmed bachelor lifestyle is ruined by the appearance of a single mother who claims to be his daughter. With sparkling cast chemistry and pleasant music, this wholesome family entertainment for Asian markets also may reach hearts of Western audiences through ancillary. Cha Tae-Hyun ("My Sassy Girl") spices up his role as a radio host basking in his own celebrity status with a degree of meanness which gives the film an ironic edge, and dilutes some of the slushy sweetness.
