Daniel Henney is personable as Sam, and Eliza Coupe is even more so as Amanda. Daniel Hsia wrote and directed with agility, and he makes sure that his story doesn't get in the way of his presentation of the city.

Henney's lanky appeal as he tries to cope with an avalanche of language and cultural challenges is a pleasure to watch.

B

Offbeat scenarios, a fresh backdrop and warm performances enliven this vibrant, surprising, Chinese-shot treat, a fun cross-cultural romantic comedy with echoes of Jerry Maguire.

When a rom com is kinda bad and then it gets worse。 Even Daniel's cute face can't bump up this movie.

Shallow feel good romantic comedy about an ABC expat lawyer's exploits in Shanghai. Daniel Henney's charisma saved a rather lame plot. Rather charming. An FF type movie.

Made in 2013. Seen in 2018. Great narrative and a wonderful combination of talents. Congrats to the two Daniels!! I am now an avowed fan.
