The Longest Night in Shanghai (2007)

I've been wanting to watch this movie because of the plot and because Zhao Wei is in it. There's nothing much to expect from the story since it's already a typical story line that a local and a foreigner would create comedy because of their language barrier. It is also expected that there would be drama because of their own stories until everything would just fall into place once these two have started knowing and liking each other. As for the acting, it should be no surprise that Zhao Wei's acting was superb and no matter where I watch her, she's just always a joy to watch. The music mostly used English songs which I think suited the tone of the movie. It's a light and fun movie to watch so I wouldn't mind rewatching it. I also found the role reversal entertaining since it was a story between a female taxi driver and a male make-up artist which isn't the usual case in most of the movies or other works of fiction and even in real life. Overall, I recommend this to anyone who would want to watch something light and funny.
