Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Gerald A. DeLuca "UNDER THE CHINESE RESTAURANT" is a delightful live-action feature by the creator of the mostly-animated ALLEGRO NON TROPPO, Bruno Bozzetto. It is about Ivan (Claudio Botosso), a robbery witness, who takes cover in the basement of a Chinese restaurant where he is transported through a mysterious door to an exotic beach in a distant land with brilliant twin suns! This surrealistic world has strange creatures and beautiful native girl Eva (Amanda Sandrelli), her bizarre father (Bernard Blier), an eccentric inventor. Eva falls in love with Ivan and the adventures multiply and transform Ivan's life. This is a fun-filled romantic comedy in a whimsical land of fantasy.
