Best movie of this year hands down!

Absolutely Fantastic

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Like everyone says, this isn't your usual Jackie Chan movie, but who's to say he can only make action?The love story is basic, but with the cast it makes an enjoyable movie. All the characters are great, specially Tony Leung Chiu Wai. I've never seen him before, but after this movie I'll have to check him out! The other memorable characters are the brothers henchmen, I love these guys.Jackie Chan and Qi Shu are great as the leading actors, and really believable.Also, the fighting scenes with Bradley James Allan are amazing!! Just watch his moves, it's insane!I'll recommend this to anyone who's not usually a fan of romantic- comedies. And also to all Jackie Chan fans, because the fight scene with Bradley is one of the best fight scenes with Jackie I've ever seen!

There is no doubt why I watched this movie. It was because ever since The Transporter, I have tried not to miss any movie that Qi Shu is in. So, along with the previous-mentioned Transported, I've seen So Close and The Eye 2, along with this film. She is never a disappointment, and she wasn't her. She is just so cute and manic at times that you have to love her.In addition, there was Tony Leung Chiu Wai from the Infernal Affairs series (the movie that became the failed remake The Departed). He was really funny as a gay co-conspirator with Qi Shu, after she fell in love with Chan.The story was a mushy romance, so it is imminently forgettable, but the two previous actors, and the outstanding martial arts choreography involving Jackie Chan makes it an entertaining diversion that the whole family can enjoy.

Jackie Chan has made some good films (Police Force, Rumble in the Bronx, etc.), but most of his most recent work has been sub-par. This film hits a new low. It is incredibly dull, shored up by only 2 decent fight scenes in the entire movie (the second of which was marred by a ridiculous tango sequence midway through). There is little plot to speak of, other than Shu Qi going to Hong Kong because she finds a note in a bottle. The rest is pure rubbish. It is one of those Ernest films where the henchmen all look at each other, grab their faces, and scream at least 20 times in the movie. It was funny when the 3 Stooges did it back in the 40's, but it is no longer even remotely humorous.Just about the only thing I can say about this horrid film is that the female lead is very attractive, hence the title. Other than that, this picture is a dog. The sparse action scenes have all been done (by Jackie Chan no less) in many other movies, and done considerably better. There is really nothing at all to the "love story", it is so incredibly contrived that it just comes off as a big joke.Very very poor outing for Jackie Chan.R.

Acrobatic martial-arts superstar, Jackie Chan, and adorable Asian hottie, Shu Qi, star in this silly but likable romantic comedy about a young Taiwanese girl, Bu, who travels to Hong Kong in pursuit of love, after finding a message in a bottle.She tracks down the sender of the message, Albert (Tony Leung), a gay fashion photographer and not quite the potential soul-mate she had hoped for. But it's not long before she really meets the man of her dreams; whilst on a yacht trip with Albert, Bu rescues millionaire, C. N. Chan, after he is attacked by a gang of thugs on his boat, and the two fall in love…But since the course of true love never runs smooth, various obstacles are put in the way of the lovers' happiness: a dedicated bachelor, Chan finds it impossible to actually say 'I love you' (which obviously upsets lovestruck Bu), and rival businessman, L.W. Lo, constantly causes trouble for Chan by attacking him at every opportunity. Of course, the film ends with a predictable happy ending in which Chan finally declares his love for Bu and his enemies are defeated.A schmaltzy and lightweight Lunar New Year offering, Gorgeous meanders lazily through familiar romantic comedy territory, relying heavily on the charms of its charismatic leads. Fortunately, both Jackie Chan and Shu Qi have bucket-loads of charisma to spare, and the film manages to be a lot of fun despite the insubstantial plot.Although this may not be your typical Chan outing, fans of his fight flicks should still take note: this film features some of his best martial arts scenes since his heyday in the 80s. A somewhat lacklustre first battle, which takes place on a boat, may make viewers think that perhaps, with Chan now in his 50s, 'the Man' has lost his edge. Fans, however, have nothing to worry about, because later fights definitely deliver the incredible martial-arts acrobatics Jackie Chan is famous for.A confrontation with four mask wearing thugs wielding baseball bats is absolutely amazing, featuring complex choreography that requires split-second timing and two later showdowns against the diminutive Bradley James Allan must rank amongst the best Chan fights ever filmed!This may not be classic Chan, but given the choice between another Rush Hour or Gorgeous, I'd take the latter any day.**N.B. This review is of the Columbia Tristar DVD, which has a run-time of 95 minutes. A longer HK release is available, which also features a cameo from Stephen Chow.**
