  This was supposed to be a romantic comedy with some fight action thrown in.

  Could have been better.
  
  This movie pretty much pin points Jackie's down turn. The well choreographed fights have been partially sacrificed for pratt falls and cheap laughs. But ... read more »

  It's a rom com but it's decent Jackie Chan
  
  Goregous, despite the family friendly approach, is actually quite entertaining.
  
  The romantic comedy bits aren't the strongest but this is made up... read more »

  Rubbish, complete rubbish.
  
  Usually Jackie Chan is very good but this film has to be the worst film he has ever made.
