　　汤唯成功饰演了一个蛮横又有些敏感，非常招人喜欢的主角，《北京遇上西雅图》的成功很大程度要归功于她自然不造作的个人魅力。

　　正文：

　　正如梅格·瑞恩在莱奥·麦卡雷的经典爱情片《金玉盟(1957)》中寻找寄托，被电影中的偶遇和感伤所打动一样，(译者注：这是《西雅图夜未眠》中的情节)，汤唯(代表作《色·戒》，《晚秋》)也从《西雅图夜未眠》中找到了《北京遇上西雅图》的灵感，在从西雅图到纽约帝国大厦顶楼的路途中，找到了自己的知心爱人。

　　在处女作催泪大片《海洋天堂》(主演李连杰)之后，这是薛晓路自编自导的第二部作品，一部设定在西雅图和纽约的爱情喜剧。可能这并不是什么新鲜的故事，但它的甜蜜与魅力足以让观众会心一笑。电影预定于三月底在香港和大陆上映。

　　影片中，汤唯饰演的佳佳，物欲横流又爱慕虚荣，她来到西雅图——因为她也是诺拉·埃夫隆(《西雅图夜未眠》的导演)的影迷——给她身在北京的已婚富豪男友生孩子。她本要住进一个待产中心，然而最终由自己的司机、呆呆的Frank(知名电视演员吴秀波饰演)带到他的一个台湾朋友黄太太(Elaine Jin 译者注：金燕玲)家中。

　　因为她尚未在影片中露面的男朋友一直没能摆脱自己的老婆，自己不太正当的生意又一直在接受调查，孤独的佳佳不久便发现了Frank也有其可爱一面。原来他曾经是北京一名著名的医生，后来移居美国，被掌握财政大权的老婆甩了，还被禁制跟自己的女儿见面，而Frank一直默默承受。

　　作为编剧，薛晓路的这部作品有惊喜之处同时也是很传统的爱情喜剧，有丰满的人物形象，也有轻松幽默的对白，包括一些调侃佳佳并不熟练的英文的段落。

　　两位主角分别从过去悲伤的爱情中恢复过来，这其实是观众可以预料到的故事情节；然后他们重新审视了生活的意义，在一些机缘巧合之后，最终是浪漫的结局。汤唯成功饰演了一个蛮横又有些敏感，非常招人喜欢的主角，《北京遇上西雅图》的成功很大程度要归功于她自然不造作的个人魅力。

　　It’s Tang’s immense likeability in her alternately sassy and vulnerable role that holds it all together. Finding Mr. Right thrives on the effortless charisma of its lead actress。

　　Just as Meg Ryan juggled serendipity and sentimentality with the spiritual aid of the Leo McCarey weepie An Affair to Remember, Tang Wei (Lust, Caution, Late Autumn) draws inspiration from Sleepless In Seattle in the creatively titled Finding Mr. Right, finding Mr. Right while making her way via Seattle to the top of New York’s Empire State Building。

　　A spirited sophomore effort after her heavy-handed directorial debut (the Jet Li tearjerker Ocean Heaven)， writer-director Xue Xiaolu’s Seattle- and New York-set romantic comedy is nothing you haven’t seen before – although it’s also pleasant enough to disarm you with its sweetness. The movie is scheduled for a late-March release in Hong Kong and mainland China。

　　In it, Tang plays Jiajia, a materialistic prima donna who is temporarily staying in Seattle – presumably because she’s a huge fan of the Nora Ephron movie – to give birth to the child of her rich, married lover in Beijing. When her plan to check into a maternity centre goes awry, however, she’s instead taken by her hired driver Frank (veteran TV actor Wu Xiubo, dutifully wooden) to a small home run by a friend of his, the Taiwanese caretaker Mrs Huang (Elaine Jin)。

　　As her (off-screen) boyfriend continually fails to shrug off either his wife or the criminal investigations into his possibly shady business, the lonely Jiajia soon discovers the loving side of Frank, who was once a famous doctor in Beijing before moving to the US and being divorced by his more financially competent wife, an inconvenient truth that he’s been keeping from his young daughter and grieving silently ever since。

　　Directing from her own script, Xue has come up with a conventional yet surprisingly delightful rom-com, at once filled with authentically written supporting characters and some gently humorous sequences, including several that mischievously toy with Jiajia’s limited knowledge in English。

　　Amid the predictable story trajectory which sees the budding couple respectively recover from their unfortunate romantic past, readjust their focuses in life and finally meet up again for their purely coincidental romantic resolution at you-know-where, it’s Tang’s immense likeability in her alternately sassy and vulnerable role that holds it all together. Finding Mr. Right thrives on the effortless charisma of its lead actress。
