A bumbling amateur cartoonist (Zhang Ziyi) tags along on a secret agent's (Wang Leehom) mission to retrieve a priceless diamond.

My Lucky Star is wholesome, effortless entertainment that runs smoothly enough but seldom takes one's breath away in the romance department.

If this dreck is what the Chinese market thinks we like, you have to wonder what kind of impression our movies make on them.

Rated: 1/5

After watching it, you may need a few moments to remember which decade this is, because the film has the tone and silliness of a "Pink Panther" movie or an episode of the 1960s sitcom "Get Smart."

Rated: 3/5

(A) candy-floss concoction that is never particularly gripping but certainly delivers slick visuals and an engaging bunch of performances from a committed cast.

Director Gordon keeps the story flowing smoothly and the photography, by cinematographer Armando Salas, is picture perfect.

Rated: 4/5

The result is the blandest of both worlds. My Lucky Star is neither a particularly thrilling spy movie nor a very original romance.

Rated: 2/4

3/10: The actors are trying too hard to get the romantic comedy element right and it's not helped with its poor nonsensical storyline plot.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

At least slightly entertaining, even if only because ZZY makes a complete fool of herself. Sets and outfits very glamorous, humour very un-Chinese, English better than expected, WLH still amazing.

My Lucky Star is about Sophie (Ziyi Zhang), a woman who lives a humdrum life at a boring office job. She dreams of starring in one of the adventure comics she often draws and submits to contests, until one day she wins a 5 day trip to Singapore. Along the way, she meets a suave super spy and gets into all sort of hilarious hijinks while trying to get a giant diamond and stop some villains. The movie's tone is very lively and fun, and this romantic comedy is a lot of fun. The only part I didn't like is that the tone was never serious, and that throws tension out the window. It is supposed to be a madcap spy comedy caper, but its simple entertainment and nothing more.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

My Lucky Star is a really refreshing Action Comedy that doesn't take itself very serious. If you like playful movies with action and a little romance you'll love this one too. Two thumbs up!
