i was not impressed with this movie. i was looking for a good martial arts movie but instead found an overly ambitious attempt at action/drama. the few fight scenes were good, but they were too few and far between.

Instead of focusing on being a martial arts movie, it tried to be an action filled drama...but it sadly missed. the many subplots created in the movie were not well developed and failed in creating characters that could connect to the audience.

the performances were terrible, the lines/dialogue were contrived. the plot itself seemed unbelievable. Pak( Lee) never looked convincing as the grieving lover.

all in all the movie failed to evoke any emotions in me.

my best friend and i went to see this movie this Friday after a long and trying work week. it was the perfect remedy. the island was beautiful...at almost every point of the movie u longed to be on the beach or frolicking in the beautiful blue waters that was everywhere.

Besides being visually pleasing...the cast was superb. Meryl streep is such an amazing actress, so diverse and never disappointing. Colin firth as the 'spontaneous' hippie is hilarious. and pierce Bronson is fabulously handsome and romantic . the music was also great fun, made me feel like i was watching a bollywood movie.

this is definitely a must see movie if u are looking for something lighthearted and superbly entertaining .

when i opted to watch this movie, i was expecting a typical romance comedy... with lots of laughs.

the movie was quite disappointing...the actors overacted. Diaz had a goofy grin on her face for half of the movie. both Diaz and Kutcher are better than their performances in this movie.

besides their poor acting...the plot left a lot to be desired. By the end of the movie i still wasn't sure that i liked any of the characters or fully understood what drove them and made them happy.even the romance seemed unbelievable...

trust me if u miss this one u won't be missing much.
