Claudio Carvalho In a fishing village in Taiwan, the dreamer Bu (Shu Qi) loves fairy tales and has just been proposed by the fish man Louie. However, her dolphin finds a bottle with a love message inside and the romantic Bu decides to seek out the author Albert (Tony Leung) in Hong Kong. However she is frustrated when she discovers that Albert is gay and the message is for his former boyfriend. Meanwhile, the millionaire and wolf broker C.N. Chan (Jackie Chan), who owns a recycling company, has a serious love and business competition with the businessman Howie Lo (Emil Chau) since they were students. Bu witnesses Lo's bodyguards hitting Chan and she helps him with her boat. They have an accident and spend the night together in a small island. On the next morning, Chan brings Bu to his fancy apartment and she does not give her true name to him. Bu also plots a scheme with Albert to lure Chan to become her boyfriend. Meanwhile Howie hires a skilled fighter to beat and humiliate Chan. Will Bu succeed in her intent?"Boh lei chun", a.k.a. "Gorgëous", is a delightful romantic adventure with a silly but entertaining story and perfect chemistry between Jackie Chan and Shu Qi. The fight choreography is another attraction of this film. The moral value of the fights between Bradley James Allan and Jackie Chan is another important point in this film. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Grande Desafio" ("The Great Challenge")

daworldismine i am a huge jackie chan fan, but i heard a lot of bad stuff about this movie before i watched it, everybody was complaining it was a love story, it is, but it also delivers some of the best fight scenes hes had for years, a couple of good stunts, and some very funny comedy, but listening to all the other reviews you would think it didn't have action, but it does, enough to qualify as an action movie anyway. his fight scenes with brad allen in this are some of his best, you gotta see it. even though it was a love story, to me this was just a typical jackie chan movie at it's core, maybe a little sweeter, but none the less enjoyable. i recommend

KaloBalo Like everyone says, this isn't your usual Jackie Chan movie, but who's to say he can only make action?The love story is basic, but with the cast it makes an enjoyable movie. All the characters are great, specially Tony Leung Chiu Wai. I've never seen him before, but after this movie I'll have to check him out! The other memorable characters are the brothers henchmen, I love these guys.Jackie Chan and Qi Shu are great as the leading actors, and really believable.Also, the fighting scenes with Bradley James Allan are amazing!! Just watch his moves, it's insane!I'll recommend this to anyone who's not usually a fan of romantic- comedies. And also to all Jackie Chan fans, because the fight scene with Bradley is one of the best fight scenes with Jackie I've ever seen!

BA_Harrison Acrobatic martial-arts superstar, Jackie Chan, and adorable Asian hottie, Shu Qi, star in this silly but likable romantic comedy about a young Taiwanese girl, Bu, who travels to Hong Kong in pursuit of love, after finding a message in a bottle.She tracks down the sender of the message, Albert (Tony Leung), a gay fashion photographer and not quite the potential soul-mate she had hoped for. But it's not long before she really meets the man of her dreams; whilst on a yacht trip with Albert, Bu rescues millionaire, C. N. Chan, after he is attacked by a gang of thugs on his boat, and the two fall in love…But since the course of true love never runs smooth, various obstacles are put in the way of the lovers' happiness: a dedicated bachelor, Chan finds it impossible to actually say 'I love you' (which obviously upsets lovestruck Bu), and rival businessman, L.W. Lo, constantly causes trouble for Chan by attacking him at every opportunity. Of course, the film ends with a predictable happy ending in which Chan finally declares his love for Bu and his enemies are defeated.A schmaltzy and lightweight Lunar New Year offering, Gorgeous meanders lazily through familiar romantic comedy territory, relying heavily on the charms of its charismatic leads. Fortunately, both Jackie Chan and Shu Qi have bucket-loads of charisma to spare, and the film manages to be a lot of fun despite the insubstantial plot.Although this may not be your typical Chan outing, fans of his fight flicks should still take note: this film features some of his best martial arts scenes since his heyday in the 80s. A somewhat lacklustre first battle, which takes place on a boat, may make viewers think that perhaps, with Chan now in his 50s, 'the Man' has lost his edge. Fans, however, have nothing to worry about, because later fights definitely deliver the incredible martial-arts acrobatics Jackie Chan is famous for.A confrontation with four mask wearing thugs wielding baseball bats is absolutely amazing, featuring complex choreography that requires split-second timing and two later showdowns against the diminutive Bradley James Allan must rank amongst the best Chan fights ever filmed!This may not be classic Chan, but given the choice between another Rush Hour or Gorgeous, I'd take the latter any day.**N.B.
