Amazon.co.uk Review
In between the Hollywood productions IRush Hour/I and IShanghai Noon/I, Hong Kong's most popular export, Jackie Chan, returned home to indulge his romantic side in this modern fairy tale. He plays a modern Prince Charming, a big business mogul and notoriously eligible big-city bachelor to dreamy teenager Shu Qi, a girl from a Taiwan fishing village. When a heartbreaking message in a bottle washes ashore, she traces it back to Hong Kong, where she meets Jackie in the midst of a mid-ocean brawl on a luxury yacht. Hong Kong heartthrob Tony Leung has a grand time spoofing his image, playing a gay fashion photographer who "adopts" Shu Qi and helps her woo her handsome dream lover. It's a pleasant change to see 40-plus Jackie discard his usual goofy lovesick fool to play a suave swinger, but next to giggly teen Shu Qi, who proves to be a spunky and winning actress, he seems a little too mature. There are still plenty of opportunities to see Jackie in acrobatic action with a subplot involving a boyhood friend turned shady business rival, but at heart it's a sweet, silly little love song full of unabashed romantic imagery, elegant art design, snazzy fashions and a gooey happy ending. Jackie doesn't provide his own voice in the English dubbed edition, which makes a minor dent in his charm but does little to affect the film as a whole. --ISean Axmaker, Amazon.com/I

5 out of 5 stars A new side to the man   December 1, 2003
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This movie is a recent addition to my collection of jackie's movies, the movie is more of a drama then martial arts film which is an unusual role for Jackie to take. This new side to Jackie is refreshing and thoroughly enjoyable, his role adds to the depth of his movies and reputation.brThere are only a few martial arts scenes in the movie, which is the only disappointment, but the scenes are well worth the wait. The final fight in the movie i would rate as one of his best fights, it is fast and action packed and definately top class. The story line has a feel good side to it, and has a heart warming ending.brI would strongly recommend this for any Jackie Chan fan, and also for any martial arts/action/drama fan also!


5 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST CHAN FILMS IN THE 90'S   November 25, 2001
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a great lookin' Chan film with 4 incredable fiht scenes. The last one Chan uses some great foot technique. It is a funny romantic action film. With the number 1 action hero in it. BUY IT


4 out of 5 stars Something different isn't a bad thing!   November 12, 2001
A lot of people think Jackie should only play one role, but why not do something a little different. I disagree with people about this film, I think it's great! I know, I know, it's a love story but try not to laugh when Jackie corners Tony Leung in the elevator or when the gay chinese guys are pretending to beat up on Shu Qi, you won't be able to!brThe fights in particular the last one, are fantastic, the usual Jackie, madcap, fist flying, with little funny bits here and there.brAll in all, it's a great film to have in your Chan collection. At the end of the day, if you're a Jackie Chan fan - you'll love this!

1 out of 5 stars Chop-chop love story   November 7, 2001
  0 out of 4 found this review helpful

I like Jacky Chan, but this movie is completely bad. Love-sick puppies and chop-chop antics just don't mix. A better title for this movie would be "Sreepress in Hong Kong."
