		2002 (MMII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar.
		February 20 - In most of the world, at 20:02 (8:02 PM) local time, date (written as day/month), time, and year are all 2002, making each of them alone, any two together, and the combination of all three, all palindromes.

	Wong Kar Wai's Chinese Odyssey @ www.hkcinemagic.com
		A critical essay concerning the whole of a director's work tends to be based on the "auteur theory", isolating common themes and imagery on a given filmography, something that generates some difficulties on critics that try to analyse the films of people that always try to reinvent themselves, like Takeshi Kitano.
		A Chinese Odyssey 2002 (2002) is, at its starting point, a silly, nonsense comedy ('mo lei-tau') made for the lucrative Chinese New Year season, a period when families go to theatres to watch something "fun" and "light".
		Of course, this is not rare on Chinese cinema, but here the reference is another Huangmei diao film, The Love Eterne (1962), from where the segment in which Yingtai is trying to hint he's actually a girl is adapted into the song "Zui Yi Chang".

	DVD Times - Chinese Odyssey 2002
		Chinese Odyssey 2002 was Hong Kong's 2002 Lunar Year hit, a regular event that sees in the new year with a usually high profile comedy that attracts many cinema goers.
		Chinese Odyssey 2002 won the best picture award at the 9th Annual Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, where Faye Wong also picked up best actress, although for my money's worth that honour should have gone to Vicki Zhao Wei.
		Chinese Odyssey 2002 is a wonderful little film, lovingly crafted with a good helping of effective comedy and timing.

	[KFCC] Chinese Odyssey 2002 Review
		Bizarre in the sense of a chick that is "disguised" as a man attracts the attention of a certain woman but she herself falls for that woman's brother, if that sounds like a mess wait until the emperor gets involved.
		HK cinema may be in a slump of late but they are not far from returning to the golden years of the past with a whole new high tech quality.
		On average HK DVDs are mostly mediocre this is probably due to VCD still being the standard but anyways the Mei Ah release of Chinese Odyssey 2002 pretty much blows everything away and is right there in the North American standard of quality.

		In fact Chinese odyssey 2002 is a romantic comedy that is quite frankly, about as funny as having your pubic hairs trimmed by an effeminate Scottish goat herder with a gangrenous infected forefinger.
		Chinese odyssey 2002 captivated me from the beginning to the end with its complex and intriguing storyline, I really can’t wait for a sequel and am counting the seconds.
		I have even made a kind of Chinese odyssey advent calendar in anticipation of this wondrous event.

		The Princess and Long really do search for their true loves, and any denial of their love is meant to be heart-rending.
		Despite all the jokes making fun of the overwrought melodrama of Wong Kar-Wai romances, Chinese Odyssey 2002 eventually leans upon those devices to affect the audience.
		This is partly due to to Faye Wong and Tony Leung, who are simply terrific in the film's closing scenes.

		Luckily, Chinese Odyssey 2002's visuals are rarely less than splendid, clearly benefiting from the influence of the films it mocks.
		Wong Kar-Wai regulars Tony Leung and Faye Wong are particularly effective at eliciting sympathy when things briefly become serious and they ensure that, for all its daftness, Chinese Odyssey 2002's conclusion is actually quite touching.
		Although it's hardly flawless Chinese Odyssey 2002 is enjoyable and provides a worthwhile reminder about the dangers of taking certain Eastern films too seriously - from the makers of those films themselves.

		This one's for you!" I mean look at the stats: A comedy starring Tony Leung and Faye Wong (reunited for the first time since their adorable pairing in Chungking Express), and co-starring Chang Chen (the hottie desert-bandit from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), AND produced by Wong Kar-Wai.
		In fact, Chinese Odyssey 2002 took me by surprise, as it was so ridiculously delightful right from the start, and the guffaws never let up.

		Having already released two similarly titled parodies starring Stephen Chow - A Chinese Odyssey: Pandora's Box (1995) and A Chinese Odyssey: Cinderella (1995) - Lau's made a name for himself in Hong Kong with his richly funny send-ups of the national film industry's greatest treasures.
		In A Chinese Odyssey 2002 he's more than a little off-form.
		A vaguely entertaining "nonsense" Chinese New Year comedy that's light on the belly laughs, this all too quickly strays from watchable to tedious, as Leung's peasant falls in love with cross-dressing princess Wong and all kinds of gender-bending "hilarity" ensues.

	chinese odyssey 2002 - review at videovista
		New to me is a sub-genre called the 'New Year film', the Chinese cinema equivalent of a British stage pantomime, a celebration of heroic romances roping in star names to exhibit comedic talents most unexpected of them.
		Chinese Odyssey 2002 is a worthy introduction produced by Wong Kar-wai and directed by Jeff Lau, it is a rich and talented cast led by Tony Leung and Faye Wong, returnees from Kar-wai's Chungking Express.
		Not all the references are unknown to a world cinema junkie like me. There are references to other Wong Kar-wai films identifiable or believed understood, the blessing here is that you don't know to what extent the references run and can simply get on with being entertained.

		In fact “Chinese odyssey 2002” is a romantic comedy that is quite frankly, about as funny as having your pubic hairs trimmed by an effeminate Scottish goat herder with a gangrenous forefinger.
		Uncannily everything works out ok in the end, the boys get the girls, the cast manage to find more work, Jeff Lau gets paid and the movie houses earn shit loads of money from an audience believing this movie would be fun.
		“Chinese Odyssey 2002” bored the shit out of me and I personally cannot believe that this trash was ever released.

	DVDBeaver.com - Review "Chinese Odyssey" Tartan - Region 0 - PAL
		At some point while watching “Chinese Odyssey 2002”, I got a strange feeling of deja-vu, that it was mocking “2046” thru hidden in-jokes, using word-plays and numbers.
		Directed by Jeff Lau, who also made the incredible silly and bad “The Top Bet”, “Chinese Odyssey” was made to profit from the Chinese New Year holiday, and while it on the surface is an extremely silly slapstick comedy, there really is more to this film than meets the eye.
		The princess Wushuang (Faye Wong) and her brother, the emperor Zheng De (Chen Chang), are bored with living in the palace, and decide to run away.

		Jeff Lau's exuberant parody, Chinese Odyssey 2002, is so energetic and consistently entertaining that it hardly matters how little sense it all makes.
		It's great to see Wong back putting her talents to use after a long absence from the big screen.
		Lau, director of the original Chinese Odyssey films, knows the genre inside out, and the filmmaker's skillful dismantling of HK film styles in its hilarious fight scenes and its gender-switching plot will appeal to anyone vaguely familiar with the source material.
