Jackie Chan may be getting on a bit, and to be honest, probably too old for the character he plays, but this was a refreshing break from his usual all-action, all-kicking genre that is his own. In fact it is very strange to see Chan in a mainly acting role, where the two main kung fu scenes seem a little out of place. But as for the story, it is quite funny as Chan lets out his usual charm, and Qi Shu plays a brilliant Bu (even I could have fallen in love with her character).
But otherwise, there's nothing that is really that extraordinary or special. But the main criticism is that the male lead was not really suited to Chan and I would guess that another actor would have been able to add a little more personality to the character. But certainly it was well worth a watch.
