Six months after their whirlwind romance, Jimmy and Cherie are ready to move on. For Jimmy, that means moving to Beijing for a new career opportunity. As Jimmy begins dating pretty flight attendant Shang You-you, Cherie arrives in Beijing to open a new business and catches the eye of Malaysian Chinese I.T. specialist Sam. But after communicating in a series of texts, Jimmy and Cherie reconnect. Despite feeling that the spark is still there, however, their differences are still as pronounced as ever. As their current significant others begin to sense that something isn't right, Jimmy and Cherie can't help but feeling like maybe they were too quick to call it quits, and that perhaps there's still hope for a future together. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Anita Li, Toronto Star
While it's not a game-changer, writer-director Ho-Cheung Pang's sharp rom-com, Love in the Buff, is a realistic portrayal of modern love in all its complexity and pain.
-
Andy Webster, New York Times
A romantic comedy that is as interesting for its glimpse into contemporary urban China as it is for the charisma of its leads.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
Unlikely to resonate with Western audiences, who have more than enough sentimental English-language romantic comedies to keep themselves occupied.
-
Maggie Lee, Variety
A refreshingly authentic romantic comedy about the tradeoffs people must make in their relationships, careers and lifestyles.
-
Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
Modern love shifts from Hong Kong to Beijing in the successful sequel to Love in a Puff, a natural, light and convincing rom com very similar to the original Hong Kong hit.
