An attraction forms when a Chinese American girl visiting Hong Kong for the first time meets an American expat who shows her the way. The two hit it off immediately as they walk, talk and eventually begin to flirt.
Stories don't come much thinner than the one in "Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong," a will-they-or-won't-they romance that invests a lot in the attractiveness of that city.
I want to see more of Jamie Chung on the big screen, and I am intrigued enough by Ting's passion for the project to be interested to see what she does next. But I'm all set with this project.
This earnest, slight romance doesn't generate enough sparks to overcome the anxiety of its obvious influence. But as a simple valentine to Hong Kong's expat nightlife, the film makes for charming, breezy viewing.
A perceptive film that has the self-awareness to make innocuous fun of the much stereotyped expat experience. ... It's sure to enchant with its lavish display of the city's alluring night lights.
As both a valentine to new love and Hong Kong's Cantonese cosmopolitanism, it's a breezily enjoyable and heartfelt travelogue.
