I have to be honest. For a person who likes to critique parts of a movie like plot, character development, story flow etc., it's not one of the best ones out there. Yes it could've had more depth to it, but I think this movie is meant for someone who can relate to it as a whole. It's main undertone is about being in a situation where it feels right even if you KNOW that it's wrong. Josh having a drink with Ruby the first time they met while Josh's girlfriend is at a different bar celebrating her birthday and Ruby still tagging along with Josh the 2nd time they meet even if both of them are in relationships.
A lot of people have been there before, being in a committed relationship where you KNOW that you love the person that you're with and then out of nowhere, you meet someone that makes you question everything about your current relationship and even more about yourself. For people who have been in a similar situation, you are kept on edge as the movie goes along because you wanna see how they figure it out and if a "happy ending" is waiting. The best part of the movie is the conversation they had on the cab on the way to Ruby's apartment where Josh is supposed to drop her off before he heads home. Here, they both admit their feelings for one another (as if we didn't know it already) but at the same time, still acknowledging that they love the people that they are currently with and they don't want to hurt them. You can see pain in both their eyes because they know that in their hearts, they want to explore a whole different chapter of their lives with each other. It does not make it any easier when they both realize that the things that "goes over the heads" of their partners, is the very thing that makes them like each other so much. It makes it more complicated when Ruby admits that she is engaged and is leaving Hong Kong in a few days. The last scene where Ruby looks at the taxi driver, deciding whether or not she should let Josh come up to her apartment before the screen turns to black gives the audience an open ending.
Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong is a romantic and light movie that explores the greatest irony of love "Meeting the right person at the wrong time".
