Paul Magne Haakonsen Normally I am a huge fan of Asian cinema, so of course I jumped at the chance to sit down and watch "Finding Mr. Right" (aka "Bei Jing yu shang Xi Ya Tu") believing it to be a romantic comedy that is seen in abundance from the Hong Kong cinema.Running at over 2 hours, this movie turned out to be an unfathomably boring ordeal to suffer through. And I must admit that I gave up 70 minutes into the movie out of sheer and utter boredom.The characters in the movie were generic, flat and lacking screen charisma. The cast, however, were adequate, although they were given next to nothing to work with in terms of characters, plot and story.The movie was so incredibly slow paced and with the fact that next to nothing happened, it just prolonged the agony and suffering, making it unbearable to sit through.Director and writer Xiaolu Xue didn't manage to produce a captivating story here and the movie was just not particularly appealing on any level. Especially when there are so many other far more entertaining, funny and enjoyable movies in the Asian cinema, and more specifically from Hong Kong.I have no intention of returning to watch "Finding Mr. Right" because it just failed to impress on any level. Nor do I have any intention of sitting down to watch the sequel that it spawned.
YJLcool Finding Mr. Right is a decent, well-executed romantic comedy that stands out among many China film productions. It's smart, occasionally funny at times, and surprisingly touching, drawing numerous references from the classic romantic comedy, 'Sleepless in Seattle', which influences the film's climax.It's charming and somewhat delightful to watch the lead female character, Jia Jia's personal transformation from a spoilt, obnoxious, stubborn, high maintenance, materialistic, hateful woman to a down-to-earth, caring and admirable grown mother. It's a strong character that requires good performance, which Tang Wei delivers with her charming presence.Finding Mr. Right offers nothing new in the genre and it may certainly look common or feels like any romantic comedies out there by others, but the solid storytelling,convincing love chemistry between the two lead characters allow it to shine. It's a significant improvement, or possibly a breakthrough for the Chinese film industry.
Gavin hu Romances the most crucial point is the casting, the heroine of the audience like it or not, a man will not make fantasy female audience, it is vital that other scenes, shapes, lines, are role. Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo such a combination is seductive, and the new idea of ​​audience interest and recognition, called this film the most crucial. Movie characters grow around Tang Wei gradually transformed from a worships money and girls know what is most needed. Overall, her spiritual growth in this story is completed, a reality more closely tied to the theme, and be able to speak to understand the audience agree to do this, in terms of really made ​​films can be considered victory. Tang Wei and Wu Xiubo pursuing a classic emotional journey in the film began to look at each other not pleasing to the eye, after understanding gradually seduces route. Xiubo acting bring to live a little too far Tang Wei, increase the credibility of this relationship. Empire State Building reunion of the classic plot had earned in the "Sleepless in Seattle" tears of the female audience, "encounter Seattle" copy of the trip, although a little too clever, but to convince the audience does not care about so more details, look forward to usher in a happy ending. So, the domestic romantic drama at the present stage, the most important thing is to choose the right actor and Exotic plot. As for the higher stage to encourage female audience to find themselves, and so the theme is temporarily not able to complete the task at this stage.
Wolter Zhu Ye, it isn't perfect or classic, but it will be a milestone on the development of China film production. All elements that should appear in a romantic movie are included in this film, and they are not just rote, but experienced and nature.So, what about our standard of reviews? Maybe shouldn't absolutely, but relatively? Another question, are we sure about our absolute standard that is corrective all the time, from 1900 to 2100? If can't be all the time, what about all the world?In my opinion, as to China romantic film now days,this movie has a important meaning, and it deserve better rate.
