User Reviews

Excellent movie, by my opinion

This movie is an romantic comedy, which tells story of the unemployed ex-policeman, who is hired as a bodyguard to rich 'miss wealthy' Gigi Leung.

I loved this movie from the beginning to the end. Funny scenes are really funny, sad scenes are sad, acting is (at least) very good. It's not a complicated movie (if you check the whole plot, you can see it's a bit simple), but it's still excellent. I've seen many quite similar movies lately, and this one is really good.

I think it's a best pick for anyone who likes the romantic-comedy movies. Maybe you will like some other more, but this one won't be bad for sure.

I recommend it.
