Verdict: This is the right movie for CNY, no death involved. HOWEVER, you need to have immunity of the over-commercialization to fully enjoy this movie
I don't know since when - HK movie for Chinese New Year season had become movie about kungfu or war that involves death - and I had to watch it cos there isn't much choice during that festive season.
Apart from the never-ending "All's Well Ends Well' movie series (hesitating whether to watch cos the review from friends weren't that good), I had some good laugh with this movie.
This movie is very commercialised - it is too obvious.
But since it's a star-studded movie, I could understand the funding needed those sponsors ;)
Put that aside, I had some good laughs. It is a typical Hongky comedy.
The moment I laughed the most was the parody of Ip Man - it was really good, the actress did it well, too.
The movie, however, suffered from some randomly-cut-scene and the ending was rather random as well.
But hey, it brings the joyous feeling - a feeling that's much needed for this festive season.
Rating: 7/10
