Movie Review: Moonlight In Tokyo
Mar. 3rd, 2006 10:10 pmMoonlight in Tokyo
Starring: Leon Lai & Chapman To
Language: Available in Cantonese and Mandarin, English subtitles should be on the official VCD/DVD
First Released: 12/2005
When you watch a movie that looks like some strange Chinese cross between Rainman and Deuce Bigolo, you don't expect to shed any non-stupidity related tears. Starring both Leon Lai (one of the preceding Four Heavenly Kings) and Chapman To, I guess I should have known better. Looking at what I know of Leon Lai's acting record, I shouldn't have expected anything too happy. ( So what happens when you dump a mildly retarded Chinese man in the middle of Tokyo where he gets picked up by a former classmate and pawned off as a Korean gigolo to help said classmate repay his debt to the yakuza? )
