Ryan is an openly gay fashion stylist. One day Ryan’s boss assigns him to style Ning, a famous Chinese actor for an important photo shoot. Their relationship grows gradually. But when their story is published in a newspaper, Ning implores Ryan to deny the story because Ning terrifies the story maybe effect on his career. Ryan has to decide help Ning or stay true to himself.
If there isn't much subtlety or surprise in Yeung's screenplay, his direction is graceful enough to make this a pleasant if unmemorable bittersweet love story.
Whatever nuance can be found in Front Cover, the story of an openly gay fashion stylist and a seemingly homophobic Chinese movie star, belongs chiefly to the performances of Jake Choi and James Chen.
For all its awkwardness in bridging the personal and the cultural, Front Cover does deliver as a nice little romantic comedy with a pair of endearing leads.
