Flirting Scholar Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Wordiezett So much average
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
kiwing94 This is a must watch for all Stephen Chow fans and I highly recommend this for everyone that loves random comedy. The characters were compelling, the story was surprisingly not so predictable like thought from the beginning and the dialogues were well crafted. I really enjoyed this movie because it was very entertaining and there were so many new ways of making me laugh which was great.The movie is about a noble scholar who is not pleased with his gambling wives, because they play majhong all day. Stephen Chow's character in this movie can paint, sing and write poems. Then later he and his scholar friends sees this girl whose beauty outshines all other girls near her and then the Scholars try to disguise themselves just to get near her in weird but funny ways. The girl comes from a rival family which hates his family. So he tries to find a way inside to approach her without being noticed. But there is much more than just romance and comedy, so I highly recommend this hilarious movie to everyone. The movie wasn't as slow as I thought. Stephen Chow is just pure awesome in his genius way of making his audience laugh out loud.
kluanghitam One movie that makes me laugh all the way 'til the end. This movie is strictly to show how good Stephen Chow is, regardless of other actors and actresses. Seems the others were just a prop for Stephen Chow to utilize and shines unlike other movie where his most ideal comical partner Ng Man Tat (who plays the limp coach in Shaolin Soccer) would provide equal idiotic humor and balanced of his act.This movie have the most of my favorite scene in Chinese comedy, especially Stephen Chow comedy, if you can understand his type of comedy. His slapstick is not Jim Carrey's or Charlie Chaplin's slapstick, and I don't see any other actor in the world who does slapstick like he did, making it his trademark.Watch for these scene: 1)The whole chicken wing scene (using paint brush to apply sauce; the chicken wing song) 2)The courting scene in the monastery (the flying kick monk) 3)The who is poorer scene (having cockroach as pet) 4)The Chinese rap scene 5)The boast who got the best poison ala commercial scene 6)The scholar duel scene (air kiss; spitting blood)and many more!! If you like Cantonese silly movie especially Stephen Chow's, this is a must have gem!
garnettxd This is a great film for us,maybe also for those who can speak Chinese and know about Chinese culture. Of all the comedies I've seen,this one could be the best. If any could claim better,it would only be chow's another film,which I can't provide with an English name. This dude,dje2000,obviously knew nothing about China,and his words should not be on the first page of this film. Everybody has to find it not helpful,this could be the real silly thing. I'm saying this because IMDb Rates and page links are seen almost every movie site.This comment could kill the new comers.replace it! replace it! replace it! with any of the others.
wordmonkey "Flirting Scholar" follows Stephen Chow's long tradition of inspired looniness, and made me giggle out loud in reaction to its pure enthusiasm to entertain. His riffs on Chinese tradition are funnier when you have some context, but much of his humor is so outrageous that you'll laugh regardless, as many jokes, especially the physical comedy, are universal. While this isn't quite my favorite Chow film, it's definitely worth watching, and still a must-have item in any Chow collection.Like many Chow films, "Flirting Scholar" takes a typically over-the-top approach to its comedy, and incorporates such elements as extremely physical slapstick, parody, kung-fu, cartoonish surrealism, and wacky references to other HK movies. To truly appreciate Chow you need to watch lots of HK cinema -- and after you have watched several of Chow's films, you will begin to pick up on running gags that appear in successive movies. While not as masterfully executed or as narratively tight as one of his truly brilliant films, such as "God of Cookery," this film is simply so utterly crazy at times that it will nonetheless make you laugh out loud, as all of his films inevitably do.
