WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Executscan Expected more

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

boblipton You'll never confuse Stephen Chow for Robert DeNiro. He's an actor who keeps fouling up takes in the movie he's in because he puts too much life into his dying. When Cecilia Cheung can't keep her job hustling drunks at a local bar because she can't act like she's interested, she hears that Chow is an acting teaching who gives lessons for free. Naturally they irritate each other enormously and...If you're looking for one of Chow's cartoon/Shao Lin extravaganza, you'll be disappointed, but I found it a good change of pace about two losers who find each other and fall in love, with some very funny sequences and some very sad ones. Chow and his co-director Like-Chi Lee manage some nice shots about the movie business and the idiocy of actors, while maintaining some sympathy for the underdog in this one.

Nice Guy A nobody actor tries to make it in the movie industry. Meanwhile, on the sides he teaches acting: A call girl learns to act like a virgin, and small time bullies learn to act tough.If you like asian humor, you'll love this one. Me and my friends had a good laugh watching the situation comic in this movie. If you have a 12 year old sense of humor like us you'll be rolling on the floor. Much better than the tepid, often uninspired US comedies.FYI: $7 hong-kong = $1 US, that will help you see how cheap the characters are.

Siberkop I don't know if anyone cares about what i'm trying to say here but for me this is the best chinese movies i have ever seen/watch? it's just stephen chow make another comedy movie that actually have something for us to think about it for the rest of our life.I just love how this movie bring some tears to my eyes and actually I love to feel sorry/sad when it is happened in comedy movies.....do you understand?

Ka Ru Fei I don't know if the dvd I was watching was screwed up or something, or got mixed with some other film... but this movie starts out great and then takes a huge turn at the end in the wrong direction.I don't know if its just these New Years films that have to get finished on time, so they hack up the story to finish it on time or what, but after starting so well, the end of this film is a big let down. Cecilia is the best thing about this movie by far, this is one of her first big rolls and she handles it well, its a big departure from every other roll I've seen her in, which is what makes it so interesting, rather then just being the sweet good girl as in Help and Everyday is Valentines Day, etc, she plays a bitchy prostitute who learns to fall in love w/ Chow. I recommend it to die hard Stephen Chow fans (like me) and die hard Cecilia fans (like I'm becoming).
