Movie Info

Country boy Xiaojun (Leon Lai) moves to Hong Kong, hoping to get rich so that he can send for his hometown sweetheart and marry her. But Xiaojun barely scrapes by in the baffling metropolis, and is lonely until he meets city-slicker Qiao (Maggie Cheung). While she schools him in urban living, the mismatched pair become best friends and eventually have a romantic tryst. Both decide it's wise to forget their passionate night and remain friends, but they still secretly yearn for one another.

Audience Reviews for Comrades, Almost a Love Story

  • Mar 22, 2008
    It's Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung at the peak of their powers and the top of their game in a great love story that also manages to weave together the immigrant experience in both Hong Kong and New York, although if sentiment makes you gag, you might want to go elsewhere.
