Fun
This was a fun movie...kind of like an Elvis Presley/Beach Blanket Bingo but not really on a beach from an Asian point of view in the 50's, confused? I was too, but it was definitely fun and a lot of very attractive men and women in it and music and dancing and well it was fun. I am a big fan of the Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc movies this musical comedy was quite a departure and I did really enjoy it. Seems strange sometimes but fun.

It could have been better
This is a likeable musical film by Jay Chou. There were many things to like about this film in the music and choreography. The story was OK (neither good nor bad). The reason for the rating is due to the way the movie leaves you feeling at the end of the film. I am glad I was able to see this movie and it was a worthy effort, but in the end I felt disappointed, but not enough to give it a bad rating.

The Musical that you've been wanting for
It was eveything I hoped and dreamed a musical could be! I only hope that one day I can have the fashion sence, that clearly the costume designer has. as well as the seemingly majestic dance fighting moves that I hope to one day harness. Thank you. This movie has changed my life.
