Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Claudio Carvalho In a fishing village in Taiwan, the dreamer Bu (Shu Qi) loves fairy tales and has just been proposed by the fish man Louie. However, her dolphin finds a bottle with a love message inside and the romantic Bu decides to seek out the author Albert (Tony Leung) in Hong Kong. However she is frustrated when she discovers that Albert is gay and the message is for his former boyfriend. Meanwhile, the millionaire and wolf broker C.N. Chan (Jackie Chan), who owns a recycling company, has a serious love and business competition with the businessman Howie Lo (Emil Chau) since they were students. Bu witnesses Lo's bodyguards hitting Chan and she helps him with her boat. They have an accident and spend the night together in a small island. On the next morning, Chan brings Bu to his fancy apartment and she does not give her true name to him. Bu also plots a scheme with Albert to lure Chan to become her boyfriend. Meanwhile Howie hires a skilled fighter to beat and humiliate Chan. Will Bu succeed in her intent?"Boh lei chun", a.k.a. "Gorgëous", is a delightful romantic adventure with a silly but entertaining story and perfect chemistry between Jackie Chan and Shu Qi. The fight choreography is another attraction of this film. The moral value of the fights between Bradley James Allan and Jackie Chan is another important point in this film. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Grande Desafio" ("The Great Challenge")

asc85 Perhaps I'm in the minority, but Shu Qi was the reason I wanted to see this film...Jackie Chan's appearance was a positive, but not the driving reason. I must admit I had my concerns, as I didn't care very much for "Love Me, Love My Money," (another Shu Qi/Tony Leung movie), nor for "Kung Fu Hustle." I thought perhaps that humor in Chinese culture does not translate well with Western audiences.So when I saw "Gorgeous," I was pleasantly surprised. While I haven't seen many Chinese romantic comedies, this was by far the best one I've seen. Shu Qi - one of the most beautiful women in the world, I think - is absolutely adorable in her role. Jackie Chan does his usual great job, although I was surprised that Tony Leung would take such a minor role in this movie.I wish I had seen the uncut version, but then again, perhaps it would have dragged the film down for me, and/or had Chinese cultural references that would have made no sense to me.I can understand if people were disappointed in this film if they were expecting a Jackie Chan action flick. There is action, but it's also a romantic comedy.

BA_Harrison Acrobatic martial-arts superstar, Jackie Chan, and adorable Asian hottie, Shu Qi, star in this silly but likable romantic comedy about a young Taiwanese girl, Bu, who travels to Hong Kong in pursuit of love, after finding a message in a bottle.She tracks down the sender of the message, Albert (Tony Leung), a gay fashion photographer and not quite the potential soul-mate she had hoped for. But it's not long before she really meets the man of her dreams; whilst on a yacht trip with Albert, Bu rescues millionaire, C. N. Chan, after he is attacked by a gang of thugs on his boat, and the two fall in love…But since the course of true love never runs smooth, various obstacles are put in the way of the lovers' happiness: a dedicated bachelor, Chan finds it impossible to actually say 'I love you' (which obviously upsets lovestruck Bu), and rival businessman, L.W. Lo, constantly causes trouble for Chan by attacking him at every opportunity. Of course, the film ends with a predictable happy ending in which Chan finally declares his love for Bu and his enemies are defeated.A schmaltzy and lightweight Lunar New Year offering, Gorgeous meanders lazily through familiar romantic comedy territory, relying heavily on the charms of its charismatic leads. Fortunately, both Jackie Chan and Shu Qi have bucket-loads of charisma to spare, and the film manages to be a lot of fun despite the insubstantial plot.Although this may not be your typical Chan outing, fans of his fight flicks should still take note: this film features some of his best martial arts scenes since his heyday in the 80s. A somewhat lacklustre first battle, which takes place on a boat, may make viewers think that perhaps, with Chan now in his 50s, 'the Man' has lost his edge. Fans, however, have nothing to worry about, because later fights definitely deliver the incredible martial-arts acrobatics Jackie Chan is famous for.A confrontation with four mask wearing thugs wielding baseball bats is absolutely amazing, featuring complex choreography that requires split-second timing and two later showdowns against the diminutive Bradley James Allan must rank amongst the best Chan fights ever filmed!This may not be classic Chan, but given the choice between another Rush Hour or Gorgeous, I'd take the latter any day.**N.B. This review is of the Columbia Tristar DVD, which has a run-time of 95 minutes. A longer HK release is available, which also features a cameo from Stephen Chow.**

Simoncu I was VERY disappointed by this movie. Romantic ? Well one can say that, but the plot is a mess, hard to understand, and the "funny" scenes remind me of the humor of the early 1900 films. Jackie Chan is good into what he did for a long time, this try is a failure. As for the actress, she just cannot play, as many others who just don't fit in this movie. Good actions scenes, though. Like I said , that's what Chan is good at. I looked at the DVD (I didn't buy it thanks!!) and I had to put the original version with subtitles, the English version is just SO bad. Scenes come and go, with this girl being there without any reason, the plot is just botched. All the so-called humorous scenes are NOT funny. It's not even a second or third degree humor. Don't waste money on this film. Lend it from somebody if you really want to see it.
