Running on Karma (2003)

Summary: Too deep for me
I have to admit, I am not well versed in Buddhist philosophy, which is probably why I didn't "get" this movie. Seeing those big star names of Andy and Cecilia I figured okay, another cheesey romantic comedy with two super stars, this is going to be very cliche. This couldn't be further from the case. At the beginning I thought I understood the movie but halfway through it went from light Buddhist philosophy to heavy heavy symbolism and I was lost. I guess this is karma for me to not understand this movie? ^_^ Andy gave a good performance, but as in "Love on a Diet," the bodysuit was a little noticeable just because I always picture Andy Lau as a skinny guy not a bodybuilder. I don't know how I would rate this movie, because I honestly feel I missed the point somewhere along the line. My karma is to read more books on Buddhism... ??/10
