SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Charles Herold (cherold) This is a really funny, laugh-out-loud comedy. It is full of brilliant little bits, and I loved it from an early sequence in which an actor is asked to express a series of emotional states resulting from an improbably sequence of events. There are also a couple of clever, funny take-offs of martial art scenes.On the other hand, this is the most insanely ridiculously script I think I have ever come across. It really makes no sense from one minute to the next. I mean, for the first hour or so it's improbably but within the realm of slapstick comedy, but then it seems as though all pretext of writing a story goes out the window in favor of doing a bunch of unrelated scenes strung together by impossible events.But I still liked it. The characters manage to seem real and affecting in spite of the absurdity of their situations (especially Cecelia Chung as a loud-mouthed hooker with a soft, sweet center). And it is wonderfully funny.

deadjoe Stephen Chow is a popular star in Hong-Kong. And the most aggressive and rebel. In the past he attack many establishment , are very vulguar. A klind of Marx Brother on cocaine.But with this movie, he finish what he begin with Forbidden City Cop. Inject some emotion and doing a self critic of himself and his work. In the past Chow never play the victim, always the clever guys who destroy everything on his way. But He show us fragility for the first time here.Here is the story of social worker who want to be a real actor. He always squat the "plateau" of different movie.We can see in various sketch, many perspective of Hong-Kong industry of cinema. John Woo's flick, horror movie, stardom... Chow are the guide. But in the same time he declare his love for his work. Actor! Not just the Actor for movie, but many kind of comedy (in the real sense of the word). And he have enough confident in himself for doing serious variation...But dont be araid! Stephen Chow do not play Hamlet. He's always an absurd guys who do stupid and non-sensical thing.. Pragmatic people, dont like this movie.

freakus There are some truly hilarious moments in this film; the action sequences with "Sister Cuckoo", the montage in the Community center, and the scene where he teaches the Ice-cream yakuza how to be tough all had me rolling with laughter. Cecilia Cheung does a good job for her first performance, the "hand game" scene where we are first introduced to her seemed very natural and a lot of fun. She makes a very good tough girl, she has a natural growl to her voice. Stephen Chow is great as the earnest yet bumbling hero, and Karen Mok is always a lot of fun even though her role in this film is relatively small.

sychu It's a breakthrough for Stephen Chow; finally a Stephen's movie with substance. Unexpectedly creative, it's like another version of Forrest Gump; you never know what you gonna get. You want action? You want romance? You want comedy? You want drama? The movie has it all.
