Leave your thoughts about The Rooftop.
| The New York TimesDaniel M. GoldThe Rooftop is frenzied, funny and knowing, drenched in lavish, often surreal, imagery. |
| Washington PostMark JenkinsBefore it veers off course, The Rooftop is lively, funny and colorful... Too bad Chou decided to shoehorn the gangster genre into a movie that would have worked just fine as a mere comedy-romance-fantasy musical. |
| Examiner.comJeff BeckChou, who also wrote and directed, has a good eye for visuals, but when it comes to his screenplay, he could have used a lot more originality. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe Rooftop is a bullet train to bananasville, its tonal eccentricities sure to wear out even the most dedicated connoisseur of silly cinema. |
| VarietyMaggie LeeLike a school pageant with a Broadway-sized budget, this noisy production is a pileup of extravagant dance numbers, candy-colored sets and vintage props that, sans the requisite heart or hip factor, soon overstays its welcome. |
| User ReviewRena TFirst ever chinese musical I have ever seen and it rocks! |
| User ReviewTim MA subpar story with subpar acting and subpar cinematography and directing but is filled with memorable setting. Going into the movie I thought it was going to be a musical, something I anticipated, but it is not entirely so, only very minor parts of it was a musical, something that I would have liked to see more, as it is something that the Chinese film market is seriously lacking. Although the story is poor, the art style and overall mood of the film is extremely creative and likeable. Jay Chou should no doubt be credited for his eye for visuals, but sometimes he has to move away from using his good friends, as they are seriously ruining the overall quality of the film. Not a bad job himself, acting a typical Jay Chou style character. |
| User ReviewJonathan LWith a 70's aesthetic, spectacular visuals, and a West Side Story theme, Jay Chou "goes for it"...as both actor and director. Nothing subtle, here, from over-the-top Art Direction, martial arts dance numbers, to love found, lost, then tragically lost. Appreciate the craftsmanship, dedication, creative expression, and bits of Taiwanese street culture (while looking past the gangster elements...or just fast-forward those parts). |
| User ReviewDennis LSecond time directing and Jay Chou probably needs more practice to get it right. |
