Crossing Hennessy (traditional Chinese: 月滿軒尼詩; simplified Chinese: 月满轩尼诗; pinyin: yuè mǎn xuānníshī) is a 2010 Hong Kong romantic comedy film directed by Ivy Ho. It stars Jacky Cheung and Tang Wei. The film is a remake of Crossing Delancey (1988).
Crossing Hennessy is a return to film both for Cheung, who has not appeared in a film for several years, and for Tang, who was banned from acting in mainland China after appearing in Ang Lee's 2007 Lust, Caution. It is the second film directed by Ho (who began her career as a screenwriter). Other actors in the film include Paw Hee-Ching, Danny Lee, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, and Andy On.
In May 2009, the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It was also shown at the 2010 Hong Kong International Film Festival alongside Clara Law's "Like a Dream" as a kick start for the opening event.
