Leave your thoughts about Shanghai Calling.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAs for the story, it's in some ways inevitable, but it has enough barbs and curves to keep it new. The smartest touch is that the young lawyer is, as a moral entity, a work in progress. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannDaniel Henney is personable as Sam, and Eliza Coupe is even more so as Amanda. Daniel Hsia wrote and directed with agility, and he makes sure that his story doesn't get in the way of his presentation of the city. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonOffbeat scenarios, a fresh backdrop and warm performances enliven this vibrant, surprising, Chinese-shot treat, a fun cross-cultural romantic comedy with echoes of Jerry Maguire. |
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisA star is born in Daniel Henney in the predictable film by Daniel Hsia... |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterThough Mr. Hsia, a television alumnus who also wrote the script, has created a somewhat predictable story infused with stereotypes old and new, he gains mileage from light humor, buoyant energy and some appealing performers. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeAt its best, Shanghai Calling is mildly diverting. |
| NPRElla TaylorShanghai Calling doesn't aspire to fresh insight, let alone profundity. But it's nice to see the American migration narrative get out of the house for some fresh air. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedAs the narrative builds, the movie shows how the harassed and impatient Chinese-American finds tolerance, acceptance of others, inner salvation and love. A lot for one movie to negotiate, not always successfully, but the enjoyment factor is obvious. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerShanghai Calling eventually reveals itself to be just another stale tale about the virtue of morality over ambition. |
| User ReviewLeigh-Anne ZThis was such a great movie. I saw the world premiere. Good story, great acting, all around great!! |
