Shanghai Kiss (2007) Reviews on Cinafilm.com - Liam Liu unwittingly gets involved with a high school girl… Well, the movie was not bad but i felt it was missing a lot of scenes, what i mean by this is that the encounters of Liam and Addy were too short, as an audience i didn't feel connected to the character of Liam(as one usually does when seeing a movie, at least in some great movies i do), i mean i did feel connected in some parts of the movie, I'm a Korean living in Mexico hence the connection, but i couldn't say if Liam was really in love with Addy, but there is more, i felt that the movie was like a mix of several movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(Scene where Addy mets Liam), Lost in Translation(Scenes where Liam is in Shanghai), Garden State(Both characters, Addy the cheerful girl with some emotional scars and Liam struggling actor in L.A. that has issues with his father(about his mother) and his difficulty to show emotions), When Harry met Sally(Last scenes, where he runs to her house(more like a satirical part of When Harry met Sally, because in the movie Harry is not even tired after his long run and Liam smokes when he is resting(very funny), arriving at Addy's House all sweaty), and Addy saying "why do you make it so hard for me to hate you" (like Addy says News Flash Sally said the same thing to Harry) and i don't know if there is another similar movie but you get the idea. It would be a good movie without the added dimension of having the a realistic Asian-American male lead, Liam, brilliantly portrayed by Ken Leung.

I believe this is one of the best movie in 2007 on Modern Day Asian American Lives. The movies I have watched from my watchlist, Interracial Romance: Asian Male White Female. Had Konwiser and Ren just stuck to the basic formula of a routine romantic comedy, Shanghai Kiss could’ve made the pass. I believe this is one of the best movie in 2007 on Modern Day Asian American Lives. The relationship between Ken Leung and Hayden Panettiere is touching and disturbing at the same time.

He carried this movie as a leading man (a woman's opinion). Over time, this charm slowly dwindles away turning into a romantic comedy that doesn’t know where exactly it wants to go next. I mean, the movie is simply awesome! Firstly, I liked this movie. She did it because she believed in the movie and knew it was time a story like this was told. and the Terms and Policies, Harold and Kumar had a romantic subplot but it wasn't really the focus of the movie and Harold is a bumbling nerdy stereotype.
