barlenon Well known Chinese actor, Ge You, plays a kind of geeky middle-aged man, an inventor, who after becoming rich, wants to fulfill his next ambition and get a girlfriend. The comedy aspect of the film is more successful as Ge You's character tries personal ads and meets with several unsuitable candidates. One of the candidates (played by Qi Shu) is an air flight attendant who is unsuitable in many ways including still being in love with another man who has rejected her. Despite mutual animosity, they develop a kind of twisted friendship and agree to help each other. Predictably they become more attracted to each other but have to overcome difficult obstacles to find real love. The comedy is kind of goofy and slapstick but sometimes amusing with some humorous but pointed criticisms of modern Chinese life. However, the more romantic second half of the film is overwrought and increasingly unbearable to watch as Qi Shu's character struggles with herself and Ge You's character becomes increasingly tolerant of her self torment. bleeech.

Ray H. The script is great, and well structured. You Ge's buoyant character is an essence to this film's success. The serious activities of a man who is successful in business and seeks for a good marriage are funny, but convincing, still we can understand he has fallen into romance with a girl played by Qi Shu. It is also funny and interesting to see a variety of girls as his opponents from the match-making website.I heard many Chinese tourists are now visiting Hokkaido, the north most part of Japan, as the location site of the film. Actually this location is well used and effectively involved.The opening scene might look a little bit strange, and I hope the future viewers do not turn it off because of this opening. After 15 minutes, the film starts rolling and the substance is funny, light but later warm and mild.

Chad Shiira "A sane, healthy woman," that's what Qin Fen(You Ge) is after, somebody "emotional", not the practical type. Well into his forties, this amateur inventor is remarkably self-assured and demanding for somebody this lonely. Only in the movies would a woman as beautiful as Smiley(Qi Shu) consider such an ordinary man. The flight attendant had seen Qin's ad in the personals and admired his no nonsense, almost anti-romantic description about what he's searching for. Stuck in a fatalistic relationship with a married man, Smiley wants friendship, not romance, so she follows the bald man out of the coffee shop and the rest is history. They become...platonic friends. Is it enough for Qin? No.Neither sane nor emotionally healthy, Qin makes allowances for Smiley, who has a sublime beauty that overrides the impracticality of being a consolation prize. "Fei cheng wu rao" is like an inverse of Garry Marshall's "Pretty Woman", in which the woman has the agency in their relationship. After asking Qin to marry her, Smiley sets the condition that she be allowed to keep a space in her heart for the married man. Why, the moviegoer may wonder, does Smiley restrict herself to a man she doesn't find sexually attractive? Like one of Qin's rejects(a stockbroker) says, Qin's value is depreciating. In other words, he's old and bald. But that's the movies for you, patriarchal through and through. The truth is out though, to the film's credit, in which the woman provides an honest assessment of Qin's desirability, because it punctures the movie myth that an average man can lure a ten into his heart. While neither Qin nor Smiley addresses the difference in their age, the narrative itself performs the task of batting its rhetorical eyelids at the math, indirectly, without being the least bit didactic about it.A change of scenery is the balm, Qin hopes, might be the salubrious fix-all to Smiley's broken heart, so the symbiotic couple travels to Japan, where the old man has a friend who drives his Chinese guests around Hokkaido. An unscheduled stop at a small Christian church leads to the old man divulging all of his sins to a priest. Starting with his transgressions as a small child, in a roundabout way, Qin admits his amorous feelings for Smiley is scandalous, but he never gets that far in the chronology. Worn out from Qin's unabridged cataloging of sins, the priest advises Smiley that she take her friend to the big church. To Qin, although he knows his relationship might be sinful, it's nothing that a small church can't handle in his estimation. But for others, a cross-generational pairing may seem lurid, therefore a big church is needed to absolve a big sin. While self-reflexivity is applied to the social phenomena of old man dating younger women, "Fei cheng wu rao" has nothing in common with feminism. Ultimately, the film sides with the small church, since Qin's friend lectures Smiley on the unfairness of it all, exploiting his friend's feelings with her convoluted conditions, he scolds. After all, exploitation can be a two-way street. Qin puts up with being angst-ridden because he likes his women young. It's a price he's willing to pay.Prior to their religious field trip, in the city district, the two men encounter a poster-sized photograph of four beautiful sisters, restaurant proprietors, whose erotic appeal lures them inside. To their surprise, however, the picture is out of date. They're old. Women who are out of circulation in Qin's estimation, as well as the film's ideology(The old ladies themselves laugh at their own lost sex appeal as women.) The geriatric women are the punchline to a set-up that's predicated on the filmic tradition of older virile men categorically disqualifying their female contemporaries as potential mates. The filmmaker infers that it's better for a man to be celibate than lie down with a mature woman. Sex is important to Qin, he says it's the basis for love, so when he turns down Smiley's one night of love(sex) with her, his perceived nobility of genuine emotions for the younger woman, obscures the fact that he's really just a dirty, old man.

etudiantemo It's a film about romance, sad but mild at the same time. Permeated by numerous advertisement for the sponsors for the produce of this film, the story struggled to manifest its substance via Ge You's humorous( or flirtatious) dialogue( or monologue). A man (acted by Ge You) over forty wanted to find the "Miss Right", only to encounter various kinds of " Miss Wrong". A woman ( acted by Shu Qi) felt desperate at the affair with a married man happened to meet Ge You at a blind date. They got to know each other gradually and decided to pay a tour to the famous retort in Japan together as companion to each other and finally Shu Qi smells the odor she wants from his companion and realizes he is the true Mr Right. In the picturesque field, another emotion arising from friendship tried to trigger audience's innate desire to sob. As a comedy, the film brings us a good ending, touching. BTW, the music rendered by the winner of Super Girl is manifique.
