It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Finding Mr. Right is a decent, well-executed romantic comedy that stands out among many China film productions. It's smart, occasionally funny at times, and surprisingly touching, drawing numerous references from the classic romantic comedy, 'Sleepless in Seattle', which influences the film's climax.It's charming and somewhat delightful to watch the lead female character, Jia Jia's personal transformation from a spoilt, obnoxious, stubborn, high maintenance, materialistic, hateful woman to a down-to-earth, caring and admirable grown mother. It's a strong character that requires good performance, which Tang Wei delivers with her charming presence.Finding Mr. Right offers nothing new in the genre and it may certainly look common or feels like any romantic comedies out there by others, but the solid storytelling,convincing love chemistry between the two lead characters allow it to shine. It's a significant improvement, or possibly a breakthrough for the Chinese film industry.

This is a good movie with reality and romantics. The best part is the leading couple are so attracted to each other that it is so obvious that they are in love. Frank is such a nice, sweet hubby that every girl would want one. Well, younger would be better. Also, it is such a good representation for new immigrants when they are not well settle down yet. Frank was a famous surgeon in Beijing but jobless after immigrant to Seattle. During struggling to gain credits back as a doctor, his ex-wife decided to leave him. Everyone tease him as a loser except his daughter who is the main reason that he moves to States. Yet facing all the down point ahead, Frank still keeps his mode as much of nice, considerate, and positive. His eyes are full of love, looking at his ex-wife, his young girl friend, and his daughter. It is interesting to see Frank's personality gradually changed from Jiajia's point of view. He is a loser and lousy driver to her when they first meet. Later on, after knowing he used to be a famous cardiologist, she thinks he is coward and tends to help him in an aggressive way. Yet after she almost die from the delivery, she finds he is reliable. But Frank didn't change at all, except at the end he gained a little career success, starting his residency. It is actually Jiajia's personality had been changed. I love the final reunion at the Empire State Building although it seems too much coincidence. Has to admit that the leading couple's performance are quite conservative which is Chinese tradition. Frank can see love in her eyes, yet she is not sure if he is still available. When he finally hold her hands, she is the happy Annie who she does always want to be as in the move, Sleepless in Seatle.

excited to write the first ever movie review on IMDb--since finally the ban of the website has been lifted. this movie shouldn't have been the one i start with because it isn't good. i planned to watch Django unchained with my bf while found out it was banned in China. so we watched that instead because he told me it was good. so i dumped him afterward for bad movie choice. first of all, it is very popular in China for some reasons. there ain't many good foreign movies that are allowed to show in cinemas in China thus people's aesthetic view for movie still remain on the basic level. most Chinese movies achieve its popularity by mass promotion and featuring famous/attractive actors/actresses. this is one of these kind of movies. the story line is a bit flat. it tells a story of a pretty gold digger who was a mistress of a rich businessman from BJ met someone in Seatle and found true love. she realised true love and happiness wasn't about money. i find either the script writing or how the theme was presented is very boring. there are a few plots are not smoothly presented at all. Tang Wei is very pretty, but her acting is awful. i don't see there was a spark or chemistry between two leading roles. but in reality, in China, i never see much spark between most couples which is sad. i don't see the passion in their eyes!!! the only bit i would praise about this film is that in an era of deteriorating morality of a society, being a mistress and gold digger is not uncommon, and it is not something to be ashamed of, a movie like this does remind Chinese people the true meaning of love and happiness. it based in reality ground and it presents positive meaning. Chinese film industry has a long way to go. I'm not going to watch another Chinese film any time soon.

Ye, it isn't perfect or classic, but it will be a milestone on the development of China film production. All elements that should appear in a romantic movie are included in this film, and they are not just rote, but experienced and nature.So, what about our standard of reviews? Maybe shouldn't absolutely, but relatively? Another question, are we sure about our absolute standard that is corrective all the time, from 1900 to 2100? If can't be all the time, what about all the world?In my opinion, as to China romantic film now days,this movie has a important meaning， and it deserve better rate.
