"It is love at first sight when Sam chances upon a feisty, fast-talking woman with the odd name of Milan (Shu Qi) at a Macau casino. But the catch is, she is a part-time Baccarat dealer and a full-time cabaret dancer, “careers” not exactly congruent with his station in life. Fallen in love against all odds, this mismatched couple soon makes headline in all media which turn Milan into an It girl overnight."
A romantic comedy that starts off slow and only goes a little faster later on. This film features two amazing leads Andy Lau and Shu Qi. I wish that their love story could have been better with a tad bit more drama. I enjoyed watching these two perform together, it almost seemed natural and I hope they will star in another movie together. Not only do we get to witness their love story we also see the love stories of Sam's (Andy Lau) chauffeur who falls in love with a single mother and Sam's secretary who falls for a poor man. The two added love stories add depth to the film but it felt like the film needed more drama in order to evoke true emotions. Shu Qi was excellent in this film, its no wonder she is my favorite actress.
2/5
