Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Begins with a wild coincidence and goes rapidly downhill from there, becoming one of the most unintentionally hilarious tragedies in quite some time.
– G. Allen Johnson,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Apr 2008
rotten:
The film benefits from solid performances by its four stars, but it is overly didactic and drawn-out as its comic tone grows darker and darker.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,
18 Apr 2008
fresh:
Though the film's emotional tone is blurry -- toward the end it swerves away from farce and back toward anguish - its social criticism could hardly be more clear.
– A.O. Scott,
New York Times,
14 Apr 2008
fresh:
Too serious for comedy and too improbable to achieve much impact as social melodrama, it works best as a showcase for its actors, all of whom bring more depth to the material than it achieves on its own.
– Jeff Shannon,
Seattle Times,

rotten:
The sex is sufficient (if you care), the acting is good, and the shots of Beijing's streets and highways are interesting. But the story is contrived.
