Finally, after the last 4 or 5 rubbish movies he did in America, he is trying something different back in Hong Kong.

If you are a Jackie Chan fan and only like his action films, then I would not recommend this to you, as it's a romantic comedy. That is a difficult genre to work in, because so many movies have been done about this, and a lot of them don't work. Let's forget just for a minute that Jackie Chan is in here, it's about a rich man who meets a young at heart girl from Taiwan (played by Shu Qi) and fall in love. There is a lot going on in the movie and a few cameos from the likes of Stephen Chow and Jacky Cheung, and even though TOny Leung (Chi Wai) is a main character, he doesn't do a lot, although he plays a gay man which is new for him. Emil Chow is the bad guy here (what a suprise!), and acts annoyingly as usual.

In all honesty, the movie is not that bad, but I do agree with the people who don't think Jackie Chan belongs here. but it is good to see him trying something different, and clearly not trying to break out internationally here. For the genre, and the story and acting, I must rate it high, because I really don't care about people complaing about it being a bad Jackie Chan movie, because it's good movie, just because Jackie doesn't go around beating everyone up and making jokes doesn't make it bad.

Rating: 4/5

(This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)
