gentoodaemon This movie is terrible. I had a long and very thorough list of reasons why it is terrible. Unfortunately, the guidelines are so strict that most of my words are apparently too profane to use here.I'll summarize, then. Bad writing, bad acting, bad everything. No redeeming qualities. No wait, you see a boob. One redeeming quality. See it for the boob. Support boobs. It happens early enough, anyway.I need to hit my quota of ten lines here, so I'll follow it up by saying that this sort of movie has the sort of stilted dialogue that would make a first-year cinema major cringe with embarrassment, and the kind of utterly unlikeable caricatures that would make a creative writing major rend his/her garment and thrust his/her fists in the air in a show of dramatic flair far more effecting than anything that happened in this movie.Incidentally, this site doesn't acknowledge "dialogue" as a word. They prefer a spelling almost no one uses. Just a side note.
thomaschau2000 I read the comments on here and went in expecting something really good.I was so very disappointed by this movie. I really like this movie on one level but I think it could be A LOT better. Something was lacking. The characters don't seem to click, the ending felt incomplete and there was not enough relationship development. Why did they have a topless scene is beyond my comprehension.The acting was good, there was enough humour to keep me smiling and the music was heart warming.I totally recommend the movie to everyone but I only give it an E for Effort.If you are reading my comment, ignore how others are over-hyping this movie. Expect only a 6/10 from this movie.
choky82 Well, the movie was not bad but i felt it was missing a lot of scenes, what i mean by this is that the encounters of Liam and Addy were too short, as an audience i didn't feel connected to the character of Liam(as one usually does when seeing a movie, at least in some great movies i do), i mean i did feel connected in some parts of the movie, I'm a Korean living in Mexico hence the connection, but i couldn't say if Liam was really in love with Addy, but there is more, i felt that the movie was like a mix of several movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(Scene where Addy mets Liam), Lost in Translation(Scenes where Liam is in Shanghai), Garden State(Both characters, Addy the cheerful girl with some emotional scars and Liam struggling actor in L.A. that has issues with his father(about his mother) and his difficulty to show emotions), When Harry met Sally(Last scenes, where he runs to her house(more like a satirical part of When Harry met Sally, because in the movie Harry is not even tired after his long run and Liam smokes when he is resting(very funny), arriving at Addy's House all sweaty), and Addy saying "why do you make it so hard for me to hate you" (like Addy says News Flash Sally said the same thing to Harry) and i don't know if there is another similar movie but you get the idea. Overall not a Bad movie i give it a 6.5(I'm unintentionally being like Liam's friend Joe(those who saw this movie understand what I'm talking about)), i really enjoyed the song Lilly of Pink Martini and also the reference of Nat King Cole(that made me search for his songs). Well that all folks. Thank you for reading all the way through my comment(I usually don't write comments).
Hui Jin (robert8304-1) I don't want to say a lot about it, but just see what the director said "Hayden Panettiere's fee was probably her lowest since she was four years old. She did it because she believed in the movie and knew it was time a story like this was told. Our deal is a royalties deal, meaning the investor gets a percentage of every DVD sold. If this film is a success, Hollywood will take notice and realises that a love story with an Asian male lead could be profitable. If it fails, we could see another twenty years without another film like this. So if you enjoyed it and want more films like it to be made, please support it by purchasing the DVD. You can preorder it here: http://www.dvdempire.com/Exec/v4_item.asp?...earchID=3009588 Or you can pre order it at whatever retailer you'd like (Amazon, etc.). " Thanks for her, and I love this movie and her :P
