This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

People are voting emotionally.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I'll try and keep this spoiler free.The romance in this movie is so cringey. There's zero chemistry and it feels so overtly forced and smells of an agenda.Hong Kong is rich with history and choosing to pick that location to dump this story just feels like trying to appease the majority of Asian audiences for their money.Please try harder to make an actual good film.Better Luck Tomorrow far surpasses this movie; I'd recommend watching that instead.

For most audiences, It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong is but a barely watchable têt-à-têt between two lifeless characters, but for those living in Hong Kong, this movie is an insufferable and almost offensive representation of the city they love. Not only is the film but an endless string of unbearable clichés, it grossly reduces every demographic that's seen to the most despicable version of itself - locals, expats, Australians, Mainlanders, Indians - did I miss anyone out? For example, must every Australian living in Hong Kong be a rugby lad, every Mainland Chinese female shallow and manipulative, and every Indian a tailor? I understand that some of these caricatures exist in Hong Kong, but to only leverage on stereotypes is grating to the viewer and frankly disrespectful to location culture.Perhaps what could have saved the film is the chemistry between the two lead actors, but the uninspiring and often cringe worthy dialogue leaves little room for anything but awkward or at best passable performances. Ultimately, It's Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong is a unsavory version of films it pays homage to (Before Sunset). Let's just hope there's no sequel to this one.

In 1995 Richard Linklater released Before Sunrise, a romantic film about two young people who meet abruptly in Europe and over the course of an evening fall in love as they walk and talk. The magic of the film is in its very simplicity, bare as it is of special effects or overly dramatic plotting. It's spurred a generation of imitators that all keep trying to capture the magic and the chemistry of that movie and unfortunately most can't survive the comparison to that wonderful film. Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong is a movie made in the wake of Before Sunrise. Though the details of the people and the setting are different this is ultimately a walking and talking and falling in love movie. Ruby (Jamie Chung) is an American of Chinese descent who is planning to meet her friends for a drink but who can't locate the bar on her gps-less phone. Overhearing her dilemma, Josh (Bryan Greenberg), a white American expat, offers to walk her to her location. Over the course of their walk a connection sparks between them though when they arrive at their location Josh reveals something which sends Ruby into a rage and the two part on bad terms, only to be reunited completely by accident a year later when they meet on a ferry. Movies like this always rest on the strength of the characters and the chemistry of the actors and sadly both are really lacking here. Ruby, and Josh in particular, are not that interesting. Also, despite that the fact that the actors were engaged at the time of filming, they bizarrely lack chemistry. Ruby seems (rightly) defensive and sharp tongued a lot of the time, which makes sense since Josh is a complete stranger and she's in a foreign country, but on the flip side it's confusing why Josh would keep making pains to try to get to know her when, at least initially, she isn't interesting. Emily Ting shows promise as a director, but I can't help wishing she had chosen a more original plot that wouldn't suffer comparisons to a movie that has been so lauded and is held so dear for so many.

I was deeply and truly disappointed. The movie started off great, I was really attracted to it as I am to all romantic movies. Now the thing is, their love was very clear and what I didn't like was that after the first night they met,they completely lost touch. The other thing is that after a year they met again and the story kind of repeated its self. And then suddenly, Ruby brings up that she's going to be married soon right as Josh made it obvious that he loved her. And then the end... there was legit no end. It was really irrelevant and I kind of wish I had never even started to watch the movie. First I was debating whether to rate it with a 6 or a 7 but then decided on 5 just because I was very very disappointed.
