User Reviews

A Pleasure Treasure

What a delight for Chow Yun-Fat fans. He is looking for a "girl just like the girl" plus being on a CIA mission. His quest takes him on a mystical journey and to a temple with a funny little boy monk who becomes his admiring friend. He also finds a magical young woman and they have ups and downs on the way to true love.

I love this film and recommend it for true romantics.
