Chow always delivers laughs
Don't come in expecting the Looney Tunes level of insanity from Kung Fu Hustle; this flick is subdued in comparison. It still got tons of laughs, slapstick comedy and heart. It lags a bit in the middle but hey, any new Stephen Chow film is always welcome. Even his lesser movies are way more fun than most of the dreck they populates streams like Netflix.
Feel good Cny movie
Went to the cinema wasn't expecting much. Was pleasantly surprised, really good movie to watch during Chinese new year. Light hearted movie fun for all. Acting was top notch too!
Laughs Galore
Stephen Chow never disappoints, this is another of his master piece. Credits to the cast for solid acting, from the main actress Jingwen E to all the supporting casts. The acting was so on point.

An inspirational, touching movie
Not exactly a remake, but more another chapter of Stephen's life story. The movie's rotten tomatoes was terrible because the scenes are not very cinematic, on the contrary, the plot, the acting and the idea are on point. Excellent acting from the main character and her father. This is such an incredible movie that you can sympathize and have a good look at your own path. The movie could have been better, but it already made a girl somewhere in Vietnam cry her eyes out and inspired her, that's more than enough. Thank you Stephen Chou.
