 A Chinese 'Tales of 1001 Nights'? Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Green Tea" is an oblique love story in which conversation becomes a kind of foreplay. Zhao Wei plays bespectacled graduate student Wu Fang, who is on a mission to find a husband via a seemingly unending series of blind dates. Jiang Wen is Chen Mingliang, an artist trying to pick up the pieces after his fiancee has dumped him for another man. Mingliang's blind date with Wu Fang goes badly; he is too brash and pushy for the conservative Wu Fang's tastes. Mingliang, however, is smitten and he persists in his pursuit of Wu Fang. They develop an odd relationship in which Mingliang pursues, Wu Fang appeases him by telling him odd stories (echoes of "The Arabian Nights"?), then she once again slips away.

Things take a strange turn when one of Mingliang's friends takes him to a nightclub to see the hot young pianist over whom all the men have been drooling. It turns out that the sexy piano player looks (and sounds) just like Wu Fang! Are these two separate women or is Wu Fang leading a double life, one as a repressed grad student and one as a vivacious nightclub performer?

I found this subplot involving the pianist to be a distraction, but it does give Zhao Wei an opportunity to show off her impressive acting chops. Indeed, both Vicki and Jiang Wen do a superb job of bringing their characters to life. "Green Tea" is not for everyone; many may find it simply tedious. On the other hand, those who enjoy arthouse cinema likely will love the teasing talkiness of it all. I certainly did!

 Good! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
A really good-romatic film for those who love art movie. Vicki acts very well in this movie. Although the story is simple but she tries to bring everyone into a very "special moments".

 Great simple movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is a very simple movie but that is exactly what makes it great. The chemistry and human interaction is the most interesting thing. Both stars did a great job.

 A mediocre film Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
It is so very disappointing! The storyline is boring me to death! The direct attempted to make a mysterious atmosphere. But he did a terrible job. Some viewers say this film is literary. It takes time to understand the meaning of the film. Oh! I don't think so. A good moive should draw and keep up viewers attention or bring some deeper meaning from ordinary life. But this film does nothing good. I regret that Vicky acted this film. I tried my best to finish it. But honestly, it is so very boring!!!

Exceptional Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I'm all for Jiang Wen who plays Chen Mingling in the movie. He goes on a blind date with a girl named Wu Fang, played by Zhou Wei. It's a good love story, one where you can really understand how the two people fall in love. As I was reading the previous reviews, I noticed that none of them gave credit to Jiang Wen. At first when I watched his movies, I didn't like him very much, but the more I saw, the better I like him. So I suggest seeing his other movies too, especially this one. ^_^

Disappointment Customer Review Rated Bad 3 - 3 out of 10
This was by far the most boring film of Vicki's I have ever seen. The movie moved ever so slowly. No excitement or thrills. I love Vicki, but the plot of this film is terrible.

Have to agree with anonymous on this one! Customer Review Rated Bad 4 - 4 out of 10
The movie really didn't do it for me, I agree with everything anonymous said, this movie was boring, too much talking, less happening, however I have to admit that the storyline was better, but how it was expressed out wasn't as good, mainland movies really do NOT work for me! They want to bring out the meanings and that's fine, but they don't add any sparkle or anything interesting to colour their movies, it's makes them dull and boring. That's why i always watch HK/Western movies, because they not only express their meanings but they also add zest to the movies and that makes them very interesting.
Overall, I really don't like this movie, however I'm not surprised that it was a HUGE hit in mainland, mainlander love these sort of movies, however I don't..
