Just so...so bad
i must have seen a different film!!
Brilliant and touching
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is a typical Hong Kong ghost comedy with more goofy, nonsensical stuff than comic genius. Not much scary elements here - just plenty of ghost and tricks with the occasional funny acting and thrilling rides. It seemed much of the characters in the film suffers from bad luck in the hands of a genie in the bottle or some type.Lots of A-list actors in this film including Sandra Ng, Billy Lau, Alvina Kong and Wu Fung, but not an exciting or amusing film overall.Grade D+
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, I thought, as the movie started. Because of the popularity of horror comedies... or rather, "horror" comedies, in the 80's, Hong Kong mass-produced them so hard that storyline was frequently the least important factor. As long as there was a way to tie in cheap jokes and "funny" ghosts. The movie starts off without the ghost, thankfully, and it's just Sandra Ng sassing it up with some girlfriends. I love her but this is not one of her better works. It's fine for a while, thanks to her comedic genius, but then the whole stupid spiel about the ghost comes in and like a genie in a bottle, it lets her enact a whole bunch of well, really stupid fantasy sequences (as evidenced by the poster). The whole movie is a downhill ride, unfortunately.
