but the 2 dudes are such big hen pecked pussies chasing 2 unavailable women! Eva Jin you should know that wussies are unattractive to women and reprehensible to real men! Okay am writing the mandatory 10 lines: The Good: Great character build up. Fast paced story. Funny situations. Beautiful women - one sane the other not quite so.The not so good - are two weak guys who wear their hearts on their sleeves. So from the start its a failed romantic setup for both couples. The high maintenance actress loses both the guys either because she is structured or not interested or both. The saner cartoonist is on the rebound. Or maybe this whole story is just 2 women being bitches but there an't a shred of romance in this flick. Not so funny overall.
... View MoreWho knew that Ziyi Zhang was such a sharp comedic actress? Anyone familiar with her only from her work in martial arts epics like House of Flying Daggers and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will be in for a dramatic change with Sophie's Revenge. Zhang plays Sophie, a comic strip artist and writer who has just lost her boyfriend to a gorgeous actress (Bing Bing Fan), and allies herself with the actress's ex in order to break them up. This is an amusing, silly and lighthearted movie that does romantic comedy right. Zhang is so adorable and cute (seriously, try not to fall for her, you will fail) that Sophie's Revenge would be worth seeing for her alone, but the rest of the cast and the movie as a whole hits the right notes and comes off as a wholly charming experience. The story doesn't exactly venture into unexpected territory, but there are lots of little animated scenes and other embellishments that make this more charming and imaginative than the run-of-the-mill movies in the genre being churned out today.
... View MoreWhile the movie was on I really liked this film and I hated myself for doing so. This romantic comedy about unreal people in an unreal China is the sort of thing Hollywood makes with regularity (and they are remaking this as well) with say Jennifer Garner or Rene Zelwiger.The plot has the dumped Sophie trying to get her boyfriend back after he runs off with a well known actress. She is aided by a cute guy who has a past with the actress. Together they try to wreck the relationship and send the boyfriend back to Sophie. Of course there are other complications.Sue me I laughed. Its unreal and I didn't care. I just sat and laughed and waited to see what happened next. Sure you know the course the romance will take, but how it gets there has some nice twists. Yes the film has a cruel edge with Sophie getting abused, but at the same time the film maintains a really nice charm.I liked it. Its not high art, and to be honest an hour after its done you'll have forgotten you saw it but for two hours its a nice distraction.
... View MoreI was tricked to see a true "romance" in this movie, however there is not except deception, crazy women and stupid ideas. So this Sophie, an innocent girl? Revenge is good? I don't understand how dare they promote their rubbish and please don't pay to see this movie, unless you are an idiot as them.what? minimum 10 lines?OK if I have to say some, I will say the actress Zhang is almost awful and I don't understand why she is still working in this industry. Fan is definitely a better role however still a crazy woman's story I don't know why there is a movie about it.
