Thank you for asking. I'm American and unfamiliar with Andy Lau and Deannie Yip. I just viewed the film on DVD. I loved it, from early in the film to the very end. It was such a nice change from the typical American melodrama, always so loud and over the top. And I never expected the amount of humor in this feature. I laughed as much as I cried. Also, I really admired the attention spent on the supporting characters, such as the residents and relatives in the nursing home. That was a delightful bonus, and really, evidence that this film wasn't as "simple" as the title suggests. I didn't want it to end.
