Horrible movie indeed. Better not to watch it, it is a waste of both time and money.

I have no idea why there are so much critics for this movie. Different tastes i guess. But however, this movie is a great one and the sequel also. Maybe the story line is not satisfied for someone with not enough twist and turns but its simplicity is what i love about this movie. This movie reminds me and shows me the beauty of youth, friendship and love. Plus, those reviews saying the acting are bad, i love their acting, they are excellent and deliver well the characters from the novels. Extra credits for the pretty actors/ actresses. Great filming and editing, and amazing soundtrack too. Simple the movie it is, the magic of filming and movie editing really made the movie shiny and wonderful. I watched the first 2 movies of the sequel the other night and i cried my eyes out, i was so touched of their friendship. Absolutely recommend for someone looking for a simple and gentle movie.

This movie is a shame of CHINA,a shame of ASIA,and a shame of the whole world(And might be a shame of the whole planet,the whole galaxy). I cannot put up with GuoJingming. It is more a power-point than a film. This movie is worthless...... I just registered my first account in IMDb to tell you that most of the Chinese are not such stupid to like these slides. I gave it a higher score than what I want but there is no zero in IMDb. Highly recommend you pay nothing to this s***.Such an Ugly movie！Trust me,do not waste your valuable time on it.This movie deserves nothing but curses from us.God damn GuoJingming and his books and movies.

Being a Chinese myself, I loved this film. I didn't expect it to be in American cinemas, so I understand that why the rating is so low- not everyone can understand this movie, especially when western people know very little about us, and the translation can bad, i know, but it was pretty good in Chinese. People in the theater cried and laughed... It could have been a little bit too luxury, I admit, but I loved the friendship, the love and all the other stuff that's really quite emotional to me. It did not have a happy ending, if you have read the 3rd book(which will probably not be filmed because of the characters)I loved those girls, especially Lily who seems to have cold heart, but is a dependent and loving young lady deep inside, and she has skills so she is not just a super rich girl that only spends her dad's money. This is more than those teen American films, it's deeper.
