Audience Reviews for Shanghai Kiss

Jan 18, 2011

Mostly predictable but surprisingly decent. In my mind they could have made Liam a little more likeable instead of concentrating on making him so pathetic. Nontheless, enjoyable to see <a href="http://www.flixster.com/actor/hayden-panettiere">Hayden Panettiere</a> in such a morally ambiguous and non-cookie cutter flick.

Faintly disturbing. Panettiere is a sweetheart though.

Panettiere was way too bubbly/sugary sweet. Ken Leung was alright as an Asian New Yorker, who several times kind of showed the mannerisms of Woody Allen. Ken as Liam struggles with dating. The dialog sounded like it came from a film school assignment trying to sound smart by dropping classic film quotes and trying to be "real" and idiosyncratically L.A. with all the women Liam picks up. It didn't hold my attention. I hit the fast forward, as it were, on Hulu several times.

a young chinese american is not happy in his life and feels distant from his chinese heritage living in L.A a unsucessful actor. through a death in family he inherits a house in shangai, and eyeing a quick sale sets off there, but discovers a lot in the ways of his lost heritage, a nice little drama, although events and comments couldent be more sign posted throughout, with charactors saying what should be thought, but it runs along smoothly, the director maybe has watched a bit to much lost in translation, for parts, and shangai looks great,
