Reviews:
"the reason i gave 10/10 to this movie because it was immensely enjoyable and was a fun ride . it was one of those comedies where you don't really have to think or speculate too much .. you need to lie back and enjoy the little moments. lucy liu was so adorable in the movie .. loved her antics in almost every scene .. and cillian murphy ... wow ..man this guy is talented ..he had done some really really intense and even dark roles ... it was so refreshing to see him doing a rom com .. he just made me more greedy . am eagerly waiting to see him doing more romantic films in the future ... enough with the zombie movies already !!!! over all if you don't try to think too hard ..or side step your habit of judging every movie on earth you ll love this one ... it way better than some of the movies which had previously masqueraded as comedies !!!!!"

"I rate most of the movies I watch but it's the first time I bother to comment, so here's this: this movie's hilarious.

I was very pleased with Cillian Murphy whose trademark seems to be this 'real life' guy vibe he emanates, without ever striking you as 'white' or 'black', 'this' or 'that' or any kind of stereotype so many so-called actors will pull on over themselves like a coat, instead filling up his character from the ground up, and it feels so natural.

Most of all, though, I was surprised by Lucy Liu, who I had never thought of as more than someone who'd stumbled into the business having unexpectedly found, or founded, a niche in the gorgeous-Chinese-face-with-an-attitude department up until now. And then from the moment she first appeared on screen, I realised she could actually act, and at the end of the movie, I even think she's good at this! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else playing that part instead of her (same for co-star). A great surprise! I have a new respect for her, and really would love to see her in more things that would put her acting talents to good use, being a person and all, and not just, you know, kicking ass, snapping or glaring.

So, again, the movie's a riot, feels fresh, and was very competently acted. The only sad thing is that there's some kind of message, yeah, but the irony is you're sitting on your couch, watching it being fed to you, and all along you know it's not going to change your life. But you did get to spend 90mn of it laughing your ass off. Really. Hard. Thank you for that!" Written by cliclou on IMDb.com
