A movie that's all about simplicity. Two people meet, then walk and talk. Not too many plot points and obstacles await their journey. It is simply a sweet and easy going character study. As with all these kinds of films, it literally all hinges on whether you like and empathize with the characters. I did, mainly because Bryan Greenberg is just a cool guy, and was so good in How to make it in America. Jamie Chung I wasn't too familiar with, but is energetic and charming here. The conversations are definitely engaging but aren't as profound and thought provoking as the stuff Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy came up with, but you'll still want to listen. The ending was a downer at the time but in retrospect works. Overall, a really likable, if not very memorable, romance.

This is a nicely done romantic-drama with an Asian twist. The leads are well matched. She is seriously gorgeous (from every camera angle), and an actor that many will definitely be on the lookout for in the future. The third important lead in the film is the city of Hong Kong itself. For those who have never been, it gives a very good feel and look inside this bustling metropolis. It's a simple story.. one that's been told time and again. They're both with other people, and cross paths with someone to whom they both have an attraction and almost instant connection. The dialogue comes easy, time moves along at a relaxed pace, although the story lacks complexity. It happens infrequently, but here's another rom-com-drama where there's no kissing, and little touching (except for a handshake and a brief dance). Of course running into each other the second time (especially in this complex city) would be nothing short of miraculous, but without it there is no movie. At the end do they make one more stop.. they want you feeling the answer is in her final glance.

I'm always up for a romantic comedy that rates 6.5 on IMDb, if I feel the topic is relevant, which is how I managed to suffer Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong to the end. Unfortunately, the problems with this film are fundamental and irremediable:1. Cinematography. Was this shot with iPhone? Angles, composition, depth of field, all demonstrate a complete lack of aesthetics, sullying the beauty of Hong Kong that lie right before it in practically every scene. Two points serve to illustrate: (1) Before the first scene even begins, the blurry look with colored bokeh shapes -- I knew I should have turned it off! (2) When they're standing in front of the harbor, talking about the beauty of the sea line -- it looks atrocious, blurred out in the background. Multiply similar observations by every scene.2. Dialog. Pure cliché. I wanted to be engaged in this interesting story line -- but we're looking at pure cheesy dialog from the 20th century -- old and moldy.3. Soundtrack. Right on par with cinematography and dialog: Uninspired cliché. Poor music, and badly edited.Do what I should have done: Don't even bother with Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong, despite the catchy title and interesting story line!!

I give this movie two stars because as many have already pointed out, the scenery is exquisite and makes me want to visit Hong Kong. Although it sounds dangerous. I would run the risk of running into these two and dying of boredom.The two main characters' banter is extremely awkward and wooden. It makes you realize it's probably pretty hard to write good dialogue so I have a better appreciation for filmmakers who do. These two sound like they are actually Barbie dolls and children are speaking through them. For example:Boy: what are you doing here? Girl: I actually live here now. Boy: what? You moved here? To Hong Kong?I guess in case the audience fell asleep and forgot where the movie was set in. There are some problems that I had with the movie. Mainly how painful listening to the characters talking to each other which is the main focal point of the movie. I feel like I maybe could see what they were trying to go for and the premise is promising.. but you really need great writing to hold the interest of the audience. Too bad this fell very short. It's not saying much when the saving grace of a film is looking at the natural beauty of the setting its in - nothing the filmmaker can take much credit for, other than having access to a nice camera.
