[Updated with the full trailer.]
More often than not, romantic comedy hasn't been my cup of tea so I usually steer clear from it. However, when there is two China's finest looking actress with the likes of Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing together in the same movie, its not so easy to just turn away. Here's a detailed synopsis for Sophie's Revenge via KFCC.
Sophie is a talented cartoonist who seems to have it all, a successful career, great friends, and the perfect, handsome, fiance, Jeff, a surgeon who her mother adores. So when Jeff is stolen away by Anna, a beautiful actress, Sophie wants revenge.The first step in her plan, “Sympathy and Understanding,” fails, as does the second step, “Nostalgia.” Sophie’s friends invite her out to a party to cheer her up, but she runs into Jeff and Anna. She also runs into Gordon, a photographer, who apparently has been recently dumped by Anna. She quickly elicits his help in her revenge campaign.
With Gordon, Sophie continues to implement the other steps of her plan. But “Reinvention” fails. So does “Entrapment.” Gordon reluctantly agrees to help Sophie with “Arousing Jealousy,” where they both behave like lovers in front of Jeff and Anna. Finally, something in her plan begins to work: Jeff seems to be jealous. A thrilled Sophie is convinced that the next step, “Search and Rescue,” will be her final winning move.
But Gordon refuses to help, and confesses that he has fallen in love with Sophie, who, sooner than expected, is confronted by a repentant Jeff who wants her back! Who should she choose for true love and happiness?
Zhang Ziyi or Fan Bingbing? What say you? The release date is sometime in August. You'll find the teaser and trailer after the jump.

Zhang Ziyi or Fan Bingbing? Ooh, choices choices!
But I haven't ever seen Zhang Ziyi sport THAT look before, and man does she look cute!
:cheese:
hahaha cute, looks classic HK comedy style.
Duh, the anwser couldn't be more obvious: 3-some
aww so cute. it's gonna make so much money till they say uncle, since even poorly made rom-com with lesser stars became hits just providing a breezy good time.
It seems that China has caught the indie quirk fever, and yet it looks so much more appealing in this context.
I'm not a fan of Zhang Ziyi's work, but she looks absolutely adorable in the trailer, so I'll check this one out. Choosing between those two women, though, is just not possible.
Not a fan of Zhang Ziyi, I prefer Fan Bing Bing, but if Zhang Ziyi turns up I won't deny her.
