OK, it's not a classic, not every movie is, but if you just want to see a tongue-in-cheek romantic comedy you could do worse.
The music of George Harrison helps and I, for one, kinda' liked this unpretentious little movie.
Not many movies were being made about China in 1986 and being set in 1938 during the Japanese occupation adds some historic appeal.
The plot, although unbelievable, is not really predictable and some of the supporting characters are interesting to say the least.
If you want to see a "great movie" then watch something else but if you like a fun movie with a few twists and turns then Shanghai Surprise might be just right.
