“Lost for Words is a simple story about two strangers who fall in love after a chance encounter in a foreign land. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline is ordinary. But the setting is exotic. The aerial footage of Hong Kong is simply breath-taking.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSean Faris plays a damaged ex-Marine who seeks a fresh start in a new city. Grace Huang is an ambitious ballerina from Mainland China. They meet and the relationship builds, at a deliberately slow pace. By the time they fall hopelessly in love, we come to accept the pacing and tone of this movie. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJoman Chiang who plays the rebellious best friend is the one to watch. Vivacious and luminous, she also provides some comic relief to this at times boring drama.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe third act comes from nowhere and the film changes tone and not in a good way. However, there are enough good bits in the movie to make it enjoyable.”
