Kiefer Liu's eccentric bit of teen sigh candy is veined with enough chewy oddities to give it texture, but its sappy center isn't sustainable over 100 minutes. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 10/07/2005

The movie presents a hopeful, if sugary, view of cultural dislocation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

01/02/2006 Well uhm, euuuukk.. That's what I wanted to say. I only bought this movie 'cause I saw Edison Chen on the cover. I didn't even know the story! As long as Edison's there, I'm gonna buy it. But boo, it doesn't even mean anything! I men, the lead is way way eeeeuuukkk, and blah! The only thing I liked about it is that it was set in Europe. That's just it. Oh, and yeah, because Edison is there. I already said that right? Wah. I rated it 5/10 becasue it's Edison's movie. But well...if he wasn't in there, I wouldn't watch it. Boo... :( See more Read all reviews
