| User Reviewleyo ci like- well LOVE this movie! Unlike those two guys. I think you should really see it. Funny, childish(?).. Lucy Liu and Cillian Murphy ROCK. |
| User ReviewLouise JThis film was actually pretty good. I'd never heard it before and just found it browsing love film so I didn't have high expectations for it, I thought it would be corny. But it was actually so much better than I expected. I was quite surprised at how well Lucy Lui was in this type of role too. Cute and quirky film. |
| User ReviewLuthy LThe director who decided to put Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu together in this, was spot on. The two do a fantastic job of playing off of eachother, and it makes for a quick movie, that I'd love to watch over, and over again. |
| User ReviewMegan MThis movie rocks. It's original, hysterical and unpredictable. Lucy looks 10 years younger somehow. I had to rewind and watch it over to catch all the jokes or just see em again. In a time when so many movies are 100% 'bang your head against a wall' predictable, this movie does not dissapoint at all. |
| User ReviewMatt TCute little indie film, nice to see lucy in a girly role for a change from the ass kicking ones she usually plays. |
| User ReviewJessica Snow that is my kind of romance. just awesome. |
| User ReviewMs. ScarecrowI'm really obsessed with this film!It's awesome! |
| User ReviewTerese AESTA PELI ME LA CHUTE SIN SUBTITULOS Y LA DISFRUTE DE MARAVILLA OBVIO ENTENDI BIEN TODO JAJA PERO ME ENKANTOOOOO MUA CILLIAN. |
| User ReviewJohn TI loved it. Very funny and quirky in a good sort of way. I'm not a great comedy fan, but this movie had me laughing several times, and really hit the spot. I'm afraid I relate a little too much to these jokesters. |
| User ReviewTori SWelcome to my favorite Movies this hillarious Hommage to Screwball Comedy and Film Noir make me laugh out loud the whole Time and warm my Heart this is a Theme many Film Freaks interessed many of them live in the Movies and forget about Real Life make the Life to a Movie go out and have Fun meet a Girl especially that Kind of Girl like in this Movie or in the Old Movies Lucy Lyu is a bewichting Blue Angel when you meet some Girl like that take the Chance you don't get em that much |
