Genre: Comedy

It’s very strange how such a well-polished and highly entertaining film has come under such criticism from some Hong Kong film fans.

Despite a few criticisms, Yee has crafted a capable film with a tender heart, something not easy to achieve in the cynical world of film-making.

‘Driving Miss Wealthy’ simply isn’t sharp enough or emotionally engaging enough to sustain the attention.

No one who claims to be a Hong Kong action cinema fan or a true Chan fan should be without a copy of this movie.

This is truly a masterpiece of the genre with Chan, who was approaching his 40th birthday at the time, on astounding form.

The weak plot and general ridiculousness are just too much to bear, and most of the star power winds up being utterly wasted.

The choreography is refreshing and innovative though the storyline is badly developed and cannot fall back on well-written characters.

Yuen Woo Ping weaves more choreographed magic into the narrative and allows the entire cast to show what they can do.

Taking a well-trod tale of unrequited love and combining efforts with current hot property Miriam Yeung, Yip imbues proceedings with an infectious air.

There aren’t any surprises in ‘Duckweed’, but for a well made feel-good film it’s about as good as we’ll see this year.

This is a sharply original love story set to incredible moving pictures. It has beautiful actors, heartfelt emotion and a genuine sense of originality.

The film is reliant on the gentle charm of its principal cast and the genuine warmth of the relationships therein.
