Teen movie "Our Times" has become the highest-grossing Taiwan movie released in the Chinese mainland.

Starring new actress Vivian Sung and actor Darren Wang, the movie has been a smash hit at the box office, taking in over 210 million yuan or around $33 million within 10 days of being released.

Other teen movies have sparked heated discussion in recent years with controversial plot lines highlighting social issues such as abortion.

The massive audiences for "Our Times", however, seem to have taken the nostalgic film to their hearts, with a storyline taking them back to their schooldays in the 1990s.

Hong Kong movie star Andy Lau, actor Jerry Yan and actress Joe Chen guest star in the movie.
