Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A breezy, entertaining romantic comedy. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 27, 2020 Full Review Anton Bitel Film4 a karmic romantic comedy whose broader-than-broad characterisations and hyper-mannered stylistic tics practically define self-conscious whimsy. Fans of Amlie (2001) - which it repeatedly references - will love it. Jun 11, 2013 Full Review Don Groves sbs.com.au Taiwanese tale of loss and love rises above convention.

Audience Member I'm not huge on romantic comedy, but this was cute and had a playful presentation that won me over. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This little Taiwanese movie was very stylish. The title would definitely seduce and invite those who love romantic-comedies. The same way I managed successfully and more importantly, I liked it very much. Someway the title also reminds me the Korean anime 'Stormy Night'. This was my second movie from the director. A lot different than the first movie, but nothing short in initiating creative ideas to present story in a style. It was a simple love story with an extraordinary exhibition of the film contents. The opening was so fast, you may need some time to get in and pick up the current situation in story narration. It kind of confuses us, especially those who are depending on the subtitle because of the presentation with the stop-motion mode. Soon after you will be well set to enjoy the rest of the voyage. ''Count 1 to 100, if it does not appear, it will never do.'' I think the guy from 'You are the Apple of my Eye' enthusiastic to find his apple in this movie as well. A lot has improved from the earlier and his performance looks so promising that he can stay longer in this business. Opposite to him the 'One Day' girl did not stay long, sad because it was a lot like a cameo appearance. But the other chick who was the main lead was hypnotized me with her great performance and by her look. There are many things that can be praised, but when it comes to the flaws, not many except the cliche at the end. Actually, it was well handled that can please you overall. If you notice, this movie was not widespread and not rated better. I'd say it again this movie is for die-hard romedy fans and probably for lads and lasses. A good entertainer as we ask for and that's enough for a few people like me to have a variety of movies from the different parts of the world. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sure, there is some sort of calculate wink in this romantic flick, but I never found it false or lenient: just adorable. You gotta love little lovely sheep. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a fun, creative film! It felt spontaneous and young. The characters are quirky. I hope to see Jian Man-Shu in something else on the big screen soon. She was a delight to watch! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie! I adore Taiwanese film making especially it's cinematography. "You'll definitely get what you lost back as long as you remain patient." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Smart and cute..... :-) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
