REVIEW:
" ...Liu’s debut film is marketed as the first film to be made under China Film Group’s Young Filmmaker funding project. The theatrical release is regarded to be as phenomenal as another Mainland Chinese production, Ning Hao’s Crazy Stone (2006). And what makes Liu’s film good enough to warranty a DVD release in Singapore? The sleeper hit phenomenon is evident from Cha Muchun and Wang Li’s sharply smart script which boasts of intelligent dialogue and everyday situations made interesting by the movie’s dramatic presentation. Above all, the low budget feel of the movie makes this a winner.
Fan Wei (A World Without Thieves, If You Are The One) plays the male protagonist with such great affection that you’d be empathizing with the trouble he keeps running into. Ju Wenpei plays the pesky female protagonist who somehow does not fall into the category of being irritating.
One thing about watching Mainland Chinese movies (forget blockbusters like Curse of the Golden Flower and House of Flying Daggers) is that you’d find yourself enjoying the simplicity of things, and wondering how nice it would be if life is really about meeting someone who can create drama by bickering with you non stop, and ultimately have things work out nicely...
