Gorgeous is
the story of a country girl named Bu (Shu Qi) who finds a bottle
in the ocean with a message in it. Feeling the need to meet Mr.
Right, she travels to Hong Kong to find the person who wrote the
letter. Through some unusual circumstances she runs intoa rich
playboy named C.N. (Jackie Chan.) She falls for C.N. but, being
a business man, he has many things on his mind. Not to mention
his jealous rival Howie (Emil Chau.)
Now, if you
haven't figured it out yet, Gorgeous is a romantic comedy. This
is a genre that Jackie doesn't have much experience in, but as
usual he manages to make it work. The chemistry between C.N and
Bu works well, and Jackie portrays C.N.'s change of personality
through the movie quite well.
As usual we
can't have a Jackie Chan movie without some action, and Gorgeous
in no exception. There are 2 fights that stand out from the rest.
These fights pit Jackie against Brad Allan (Mr. Niceguy, Gen-X
Cops.)
Overall I
found this movie rathar enjoyable, and if you know any romantics
that have yet to see a Jackie Chan film, start them on this one.
