i doubt it - not unless you have a real gift ...
you may get a word here and there ..
i've learned a bit of cantonese through a past girlfriend and workmates but that enabled me to recognize the odd word
in a movie - not the other way around.
the sentance structure is too different - there is nothing obvious and the pronounciation is very different from what you would learn taking a course too - plus with all the different dialects - man its hard to learn.
i think you'd need something far more intense than the occasional movie - you need to speak it and practice it every day ..
