Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Chinese actress (Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs III) and pop star, Sammi Cheng leads a cast that has a decided family bent.Directors Ka-Fai Wai and Johnny To work together often, as do writers Ka-Fai Wai, Nai-Hoi Yau & Kin-Yee Au. Actor Ching Wan Lau and director Ka-Fai Wai have collaborated eight times, and he has directed Sammi Cheng five times. All the major players should be very comfortable with each other.I went in expecting a horror film, but there must be a problem with the translation, as it was a silly comedy.Sammi Cheng (Cheng) marries a rich man and he dies suddenly. She spends her time eating, drinking, and lounging around the house - when she isn't shoplifting or driving drunk.San-san Lee (Miss Hong Kong 1996) plays the spurned girlfriend perfectly. She was a riot! Sammi Cheng was outstanding, as was Ching Wan Lau.It was not horror, but a tender love story.

Just seeing the title one might think this is a horror move or worse. It is actually very funny with may twists and turns. The characters unfold and find depth as the movie progresses. Also there is much sentimentality and sincerity that builds as the film progresses. Though just barely a notch below, My Left Eye Sees Ghosts is comparable in quality and comedic style to My Sassy Girl. So far have referred it to half a dozen people, each of whom watched and thoroughly enjoyed. It is worth finding this gem and gathering friends to watch. There twist and turns and I don't want to say anymore for fear I would give anything away.

Being somewhat of a film aficionado, hearing the synopsis of this film should have been enough to turn me off to it. Being a fan of Sammi Cheng I hoped that it would be worth watching, regardless of how cheesy the plot seemed. Like in all of the other movies of hers I've seen to date I was not disappointed. Something about Sammi's screen presence, makes even the most ridiculous candy coated film a delight to watch. While this may not exactly be an art film, it does stand on it's own two legs, and delivers a wholly entertaining film. In genre (ROMCOM) that has more or less been killed by banality, My Left Eye See's Ghost's manages to deliver some fresh life and originality. Granted it not mind numbingly original, but original enough to make even the auteur smile.

A wonderful romantic commedy starring the ever lovely Sammi Cheng. It combines romance and comedy beautifully in a simple but yet fulfilling story, with ghost element involved. Think of it as Hong Kong version of Hollywood's heat movie "Ghost" only that this one has more Chinese taste and is definitely better. The music is beautifully but yet not intrusive.Without giving too much away, the movie has a slight twist at the end, though the observant audience would probably recognize it early on. The twist helps to tie the movie logically together.Sammi gave a great performance as a newly-wed widow who transforms herself... She has trully become a magnificient performer and can hold a movie on her own shoulder.A 9/10.
