Audience Member This was a surprisingly good movie. I had no idea what to expect and wound up really enjoying it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The lighting in this movie is well placed making for a beautiful image experience. Actors are cute and cuddly giving a smooth acting profile that portrays a characterization that is fun and authentic. Locations are a little bland considering the cities visited so this is more about the focus on the human aspect which lessens the visual quality. Nibbles: Peking duck and Pancakes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why I enjoyed this film so much I guess because of its feel good nature. The cast are wonderful, even Panettiere in a weak character role seems to pull it off. The actual plot seems a little wrong, older guy and quite young girl making a connection, but by the end of this film you forget the age difference and see only the chemistry between these two characters and actors. Ken Leung was amazing in the lead and played his role flawlessly, he drew me into this story. The screenplay is great, a beautiful blend of humour and drama make this a wonderful romantic dramedy that brought many a smile to my face. The story is honest and realistic (maybe bar the ending) and it wont be long before I watch this one again. Highly recommend this charming film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Good intentions, decent story, ok acting and quite a lot of heart. In the end it doesn't reach all the way, but it has its moments. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty funny DVD, AMWF film with Hayden.. YES PLEASE! not so believable in real life because she dates pro boxers and other muscle heads Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member horrible title, ---- but what a surpise! asian woody allen!
