With a lot of Chinese films I get to watch these days, I caught this one on the Sichuan Film Channel - thankfully it had subtitles so I stuck with it and was very happy that I did.
A take on the original South Korean film (Miss Granny) it stars Zishan Yang and the infamous teen idol Lu Han in the lead roles - both actors lend a lot of charm to their parts and what could be seen as schmaltzy - sometimes - Chinese films of this genre are exactly that - instead - gives itself to a more comedic dimension and there are plenty of laughs galore to be hard in this film.
I also teared up at the end - I probably should hand in my man card but what can we do when the film is as good as this one? There is an outlying message throughout the film so instead of me telling what that is, I suggest you check this out for yourself.
