Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Micransix Crappy film

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Paul Magne Haakonsen Directors Da-Mo Peng and Fei Yan put China back on the comedy world map with work on "Goodbye Mr. Loser"."Goodbye Mr. Loser" (aka "Xia Luo te fan nao") starts out in a very hilarious way. At a wedding, Xia Luo (played by Teng Shen) gets drunk and get the brilliant idea of singing a love song to his high school crush Qiuya (played by Zhi Wang), whom is getting married to someone else. This love song does not go well with Xia Lou's wife Ma Dong Mei (played by Li Ma). Xia Luo hides in the bathroom, but when he comes back out from hiding, he finds himself back in his glorious high school days. Has he been given a second chance to do things over, or is it a chance to relive his former prime? From there on the movie just keeps up its established hilarious atmosphere and keeps adding on to that. And writers and directors Da-Mo Peng and Fei Yan really deserve a big, big thumbs up on their accomplishment with "Goodbye Mr. Loser".There are so many funny moments throughout the course of this movie, and I found myself laughing hard so many times. I was thoroughly enjoying myself throughout the course of this movie, and I really liked the storyline.Furthermore, the characters in the movie were so well-rounded and detailed and unique. The characters in "Goodbye Mr. Loser" are colorful, memorable and outstanding, really adding a lot of flavor to the storyline.The cast list had some great talents to it, and people were doing really good jobs in bringing their characters to life on the screen as they performed in "Goodbye Mr. Loser".If you enjoy Asian cinema and comedies, then you should definitely take the chance to watch "Goodbye Mr. Loser" if you have the chance, because this is a memorable and entertaining movie.

tenshi_ippikiookami Xia Luo is married to Madong Mei, but is still in love with his high school crush, Qiuya. On Qiuya's wedding he decides to get drunk and sing to Qiuya a love song. Madong Mei is not very happy with his behavior and attacks him. Xia Luo runs away and hides in the toilet.But when he leaves it, he is back to his high school days... And now he has a second chance. What will he change? Will he 'conquer' Qiuya's heart?The story is not to be taken too seriously (even if we actually get a couple of serious moments), and we can see the ending coming from almost the very beginning. But the plot is not really what matters in a time-travelling comedy. A story like this is perfect to be acted and directed with silliness in its heart. That the story is simple and self-centered around Xia Luo could be forgiven if it was funny and with a frantic pace. However the laughs come and go, and the pace is too uneven. That without forgetting that it has a couple of worrisome moments, starting with Xia Luo's penchant to sexually harass Qiuya after he has traveled back in time (even if he believes it is a dream)."Goodbye Mr.Loser" is a not very original comedy, worth a couple of chuckles, but that is also way overacted and with problems of pace. A middling effort.

TheNeel Teng Shen is an undignified man who lives an unhappy life with his wife. He is given another shot at his life; after he blacks out, getting drunk at his old crush's wedding. He wakes up in his old classroom back in his high-school days. Yes he goes back in time! Not a sci-fi by any means, but a good romantic comedy. The film is a fun ride of quick humour and good music. The script is well written and the characters well enacted. I was into the film from first to last, not a second of boredom! A feel-good movie worth your time. It does offer a powerful hidden-morale but that's for you to find out.Enjoy!!

boblipton While attending the wedding of his high school crush, Teng Shen is humiliated by his wife and gets blackout drunk ... and awakes back in high school. Using his memories of his former life, he eventually gets everything he wanted, including a major musical career and the girl from high school, only to realize how miserable it makes him.It's a very well written and performed comedy, with some real character exposition and funny jokes. While the outline is familiar to me -- I've been reading science fiction for more than five decades -- it's put together well, including some nice musical interludes to keep the audience happy. Although the sub-textual message is excessively normative -- don't hope for something more, but be happy with what you have -- it's put together in an unflaggingly engaging fashion.
