I watched this film this afternoon and I believe I've just wasted several hours of my life. It was rated a comedy yet I was laughing for all of the wrong reasons. First off, it shows you the life of a girl who has the amazing ability to speak without moving her mouth [ like the rest of the cast ] and gives you some basic information which I completely missed because the awful lip synching was distracting me. Next thing I know, she's talking to this dolphin finds a bottle and boombabadoom, she's on a plane. The link from those two scenes seems to be non-existent. Or one of those subtle things people who actually concentrate and take notes during films notice. The movie just seems to go bad to worse as it goes through with the girl making many friends and pretending to be loads of people other than herself, for reasons not clear to me, and then falling in love. The portrayal of the gay person was so stereotypical, it was appalling and after about an hour of the terrible lip-synching, equally bad acting, confusing plot lines and awful fight scenes, I gave up and did something more interesting like watching paint dry. All in all, the best thing about this film has to be the pink converse the gay guy wore.

I've slowly been exploring the films of Jackie Chan ever since I was finally convinced to see Rumble in the Bronx. This is around my 14th, and I was very pleased with it. (8/10) As some have noted, it's not your typical Jackie Chan movie. Mostly because it is a love story. Well, more of a fairy tale love story--with light-hearted comedy and a bit of action thrown in. I watched the DVD in the native Cantonese. So, no dubbing problems. The girl was very charming and completely endearing, even in a language I don't understand. Fell for her pretty quick--and I'm not much into "sappy" movies. The antagonism in the film had a very "nice" edge burnished to it. No out and out gratuitous violence--no guns, blood, etc. They were extremely entertaining. The only weaknesses: The music was just on the edge of being overbearingly "fluffy". It would have been nicer if the relationship was developed a little stronger in the later half of the movie. I bought into the girl. I was left wanting more in the end of the film--the relationship seemed a little too disconnected at the end for me.

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.**

If all you want is an action movie in the Jackie Chan tradition, you may not like this one. It is instead a romantic comedy, which I will admit not too many Jackie fans will be expecting. I, however, applaud the fact that he branches out from the typical comedic chop-socky formula in this one. I think it would be terrible as an actor to endlessly have to come up with new "they done me wrong, so I gotta beat 'em up" plots for movies. So all you folks who just want to see amazing stunts and so on, I would advise that you watch something else. This movie does not contain much in the way of stunts, or even fight scenes. However, it does contain a couple of comedic fights with the Four Stooges of henchmen, which might elicit a chuckle or two. It also contains two fights with Bradley James Allan, which are fought within spaces about the size of a boxing ring, and with only walls to run up and do backflips off, as far as the acrobatics go. However, these are amazing fights, especially the last one, because with Brad, Jackie doesn't have to slow down. So it is blazing fists a-flying, and some of the best toe-to-toe single opponent action you will see in any Jackie movie. And I don't think they contained any wire work at all. Just straight honest action. Somewhat ironically, one part of the last fight with Brad was the only part of the movie I got a full belly laugh out of. Admittedly, this is kind of an odd movie, but as long as you approach it in the right frame of mind, I think you might enjoy it. Maybe think of it as a chick flick with some Jackie Chan action thrown in. This would be a great one to watch, for instance, with a girlfriend who doesn't usually like martial arts movies. It has both action and touching moments. And after she sees this one, you may persuade her to watch some of the real Chan actioners with you. :)

This movie was garbage. Usually Jackie Chan movies are good but this one is bad. I didn't even enjoy or like the movie at all. 1 bad jackie chan film out of 100 excellent ones are not bad at all. All you had was 10 minutes of mayhem(action, violence). Even some of the fight scenes in that movie didn't have a very good plot setup. They were treated as if they were just kidding, joking and playing around instead of having a fun time defending yourself from the bad guys. The romance(lovestory) scenes were so bad that even a 5 year old kid would hate it. When the boxer came in it really destroyed and took the available plot from this movie. The lovestory scenes are way to overproduced. The background music for the romance is so long and it lasts for days, someone help me. Next time they can replace them with carchase scenes and maybe a building falling down. Jackie Chan should stick to the movies that he is good at such as mayhem(Operation Condor, Rush Hour 1&2, Supercop). If you like romance movies then go see Titanic 10 times, that is much better than that disgusting garbage. THANK GOD OUR WORLD FINALLY HAS DVDs. Because when the beyond bad love story scenes(every single romance scene) comes up then get your DVD converter and fast forward it to the only available mayhem. Jackie Chan wanted to try something different just like ARNIE, but he just realized that he is not good at LOVESTORY movies. This is the worst martial arts filmed I had ever scene in my whole entire f----ing life. This is the only Jackie Chan movie to avoid. Even the fight scenes were not enough to get this film out of the terrible, beyond bad abyss. 1.0/10 I gave it one just for Chan being in the movie.

Well, I think Jackie has done better movies before. The script and its dialogues are very nice and funny, the acting is very good, but all these action scenes are all more or less superfluous, for the story didn't need them at all ! One just have to have them if its a Jackie movie, or what ? But nobody in this movie is really evil anyway, and its not a sport movie, so why all these fights ? However, my main problem with this movie was that Jackie was just too old for his role. They did their best to let the watcher forget that. But even the movie father of the woman looked younger ! Qi Shu is indeed very cute, by the way. Really, this movie is quite funny, and I don't regret the time I've spend watching it, but I'm not completely happy about it either. Its still a typical Jackie movie, action combined with slapstick and jokes, and based on a positive, optimistic world view. But I would have preferred to leave the action out of it and have some less age distance between the man and the woman.
