Shanghai Kiss is a romantic comedy that came out in 2007 as a direct to dvd movie. The main character is Liam Liu(Ken Leung). Two other important characters are Adelaide Bourbon(Hayden Panettiere) and Micki Yang(Kelly Hu). This is a movie about Liam Liu, a Chinese American, who grows up trying to live the American dream of becoming an actor. Liam doesn’t appreciate his Chinese roots. Liam one day meets a high school teen named Adelaide bourbon and unwillingly gets into an one-sided relationship with her. One day a turn of events places Liam in China. Liam finally gets to experience his Chinese culture and then he must make some big decisions regarding his life.
Shanghai Kiss was a good movie that depicts how some Asian Americans live their life not liking their own heritage. Sometimes they continue the way they feel, and sometimes they go through an experience which changes their views like in this movie.
Here’s a trailer of the movie:
