Gorgeous (DVD) ... productions Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, Hong Kong's most popular export, Jackie Chan, returned home to indulge his romantic side in this modern fairy tale. He plays a modern Prince Charming, a big business mogul and notoriously eligible big-city bachelor to dreamy teenager Shu Qi, a girl from a Taiwan fishing village. When a heartbreaking message in a bottle washes ashore, she traces it back to Hong Kong, where she meets Jackie in the midst of a mid-ocean brawl on a luxury yacht. Hong Kong heartthrob Tony Leung has a grand time spoofing his image, playing a gay fashion photographer who "adopts" Shu Qi and helps her woo her handsome dream lover. It's a pleasant change to see 40-plus Jackie discard his usual goofy lovesick fool to play a suave swinger, but next to giggly teen Shu Qi, who proves to be a spunky and winning actress, he seems a little too mature. There are still plenty of opportunities to see Jackie in acrobatic action with a subplot involving a boyhood friend turned shady business rival, but at heart it's a sweet, silly little love song full of unabashed romantic imagery, elegant art design, snazzy fashions and a gooey happy ending. Jackie doesn't provide his own voice in the English dubbed edition, which makes a minor dent in his charm but does little to affect the film as a whole. --Sean Axmaker, Amazon.com

The DVD is very well produced for what is essentially one of Jackie's low key movies (internationally speaking). There is a choice of a dubbed or subtitled version - though purists like me will not consider this a choice, as subtitling is always the way to go. Also included are an interesting original Chinese 30 minute 'making of' feature and an isolated music score - a feat...more

Premium Review Gorgeous (DVD): A pleasant change from the norm (344 words)
by sunteam - written on 20/01/02 (Useful, 26 readings)
Rating:

Ignore all the guff on the back of the box describing it as 'action packed' and with 'heart-stopping stunts.' While there is a certain amount of action, this is primarily a love story, and quite a charming one at that. It's a departure from what we are used to seeing Jackie Chan in these days, and is a refreshing break from his more intense action movies. Also, it sees him show his skill in some excellent martial arts scenes that are unclouded by flashy stunts - it's nice to see him go back to straight fighting so you can really appreciate his skill. But the fights are merely punctuation in the story, which is appealing, amusing and avoids the use ...
