«Excused of actual inspiration, Sophie's Revenge proves enjoyable, as it provides enough for an amusing and light time at he movies. The surprise isn't in the actual story, but more in the novelty of the production. Shot gorgeously in a gloriously manufactured way, Sophie's Revenge presents a China you've never seen on cinema.»
«Featuring some adorable visual gimmickry ― including, naturally, its star cast ― Sophie’s Revenge is unashamed and unrelenting in its effort to make you laugh and swoon, no matter how passe the tactics are.»

«The story is nothing new and those familiar with Korean comedies - or who have ever seen an episode of Ally McBeal - will have seen this quasi-animated approach to comedy storytelling before, but for a mainland production, and as a commercial vehicle for its star, SOPHIE'S REVENGE works really rather well.»

«Zhang, who's onscreen the whole time, works hard at the physical gymnastics of her klutzy character, but she looks too smart for the part and adopts a rather mechanical approach to conveying charm.»

«"Sophie's Revenge" is a goofy, satisfying dose of girl power.»
