It would be too bad if we went to the cinema to give people their heads. About the whole way. All kinds of unlimited sections of bridges can not play a funny role at all. Exaggerated acting style, distorted the plot of the three views, perhaps the meaning of this film is to reproduce all kinds of Hong Kong movies, bridges, and play a few old songs.

Lost in Hong Kong was put together quite well for maximum enjoyment. I found it funny, action packed, touching and beautiful all at the same time.

I'll be honest, when it comes to Asian cinema I'm more about Kung Fu flicks than anything else. I knew this was more of a comedy and I went into it thinking I might not get it, but after seeing the crime drama, Saving Mr. Wu, and loving that, this movie was recommended. So I gave it a try. The story they tell is pretty universal.

Xu Lai, is a man facing a midlife crisis added by the stress of trying to get his wife pregnant. When an opportunity comes to relive his youth with his first love, he travels all over Hong Kong in an attempt to rekindle the relationship, only to find the task more difficult when his Brother-In-Law tags along in order to document his life. Plus they both become evolved with a murder investigation.

I love it when movies defy genres and are able to mix in a lot of things to the story elements without being too jumbled and this movie does that very creatively. I don't know if this would be considered China's version of a blockbuster but it works on that level.

The movie has everything, everyone would need in order to stay in the seats and keep watching.

Most of all, I love how beautiful the cinematography made Hong Kong look. It adds to the personality of the whole film.

I definitely recommend giving it a look. it's got action adventure, Romance, and especially comedy. It's a good one.

Bo Cai's family and especially Lala are obnoxious to an intolerable degree, and Xu Lai's polite and benign attitude toward them and refraining from violence toward Lala is actually frustrating for the viewer. The plot doesn't make too much sense. Situations mildly funny. If it were half as long maybe could be mediocre rather than bad.

OK , Maybe 9/10 is too high but the average needs to go up.

I found this on blu-ray at my local library (!) and one look at the title caught my attention. I hadn't seen any HK type comedies in a long time so I thought this deserved a chance.

Funny, zany and somewhat scatological in it's humor with a healthy dose of thrills, sentiment and general silliness in the Chow manor, this picture was a pleasant surprise and I found it entertaining to watch. While it is Chinese humor it does translate (maybe not verbally) to those who appreciate comedy. The subtitles come fast and furious to the Western eye but the action speaks for itself.

My only complaint was the excruciatingly long climax to the film, but the CGI was spectacular.

So, A HK comedy made n HK by mainland artists. Recommended.

This film is just so embarrassing to watch. It seems that after Stephen Chow's "Clueless" genre that almost ruined the Hong Kong movie industries, Zheng Xu, a guy who inherited the similar ingredients from Mr. Chow, is trying so hard to ruin the Chinese Mainland China's movie industries again. Yes, both guys at first have glorified the box office everywhere in the Chinese territories, but it's not a good thing to see Xu to further ridicule the Chinese viewers' standard to an even lower level. What a series of farces he did to the Chinese film trend. Now, lot of the copycatting wannabes are trying to overdo what he did, making the movies, the screenplays, the scenarios, the plots and acting more and more ridiculously stupid and awkward to watch. All the unrealistic, exaggerated, pretentious, clown-jerk like performances in these kind of movies, they call "acting". All the stupid scenarios and plots of what Mr.Xu crazily and illogically put together in his recent films, people deemed them as genius or ingeniously crafted. But once this kind of screenplay and its genre become a formatted formula, farce would take place, the definition of "Comedy" would be interpreted and equal with "Farce". There will be no way back to normal, the fine line that define "comedy", "thriller", "drama", "action" would be all confined into one narrow definition: "FARCE". Then the doomsday of the Chinese movie industries will come. Movie viewers' taste would be totally ruined and lowered to a limbo that only low I.Q. mature morons or immature teen-ages would and could keep the loyalty of such farce.

Why "farce" would ruin everything? Because you can put every stupid scenario, plot, story in a screenplay, no matter how ridiculous and how illogical it might be, and all the exaggerated, unnatural performances of those actors who signed up doing it will be accepted as "good and talented" ACTING. As long as you could make those retarded viewers laugh uncontrollably, the movie would be rated "good" and "fun to watch", but actually they are just short lived mess on the screen.

The Chinese movie people are anxious to show to the westerners how they are also understanding what "Humor" means, they desperately want to show those non-Chinese movie viewers how they understand the "Sense of Humor". But by doing so, only shows their misunderstanding and their shallowness almost to anything and everything.

Please, Mr. Xu, don't do this kinda crap again and again. There are ways to achieve great Box Office record and to make the money, but this definitely not one of them.
