Amazon.co.uk Review
In between the Hollywood productions Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, 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. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

Format:DVD
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.
There 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.
I would strongly recommend this for any Jackie Chan fan, and also for any martial arts/action/drama fan also!

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

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!
The fights in particular the last one, are fantastic, the usual Jackie, madcap, fist flying, with little funny bits here and there.
All 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!

I love Jackie Chan and Shu Qi and to bring them together on one film was a must for me to buy. The story line was "cute" and amusing. Read more

10 mins into this movie I actually checked the box to see if Jackie Chan was in this movie.

Chop-chop love story
I like Jacky Chan, but this movie is completely bad. Love-sick puppies and chop-chop antics just don't mix. Read more

nice story, great action, good night in
Not as much action as Chan of old but easily enough to appreciate he is still the king of action. The love story between him and Bu is ok but he is old enough to be her father and... Read more

Something went wrong
I love Jackie Chan movies cos he's really good at fighting, doing stunts and pulling off amazing physical manoeuvres, not cos he dances and makes puppy eyes at young girls. Read more

A perfect film for all the family - excellent
Again, Jackie chan manages to bring something new to the screen. The d.v.d features an excellent summery by Chan himself. Read more

Something for everyone in this action/comedy/romance.
A slight change of pace for Jackie in this 1999 film made for Golden Harvest Studios. Although there are some trademark Chan fight scenes, the film concentrates on the relationship... Read more
