6/10
Frenetic, Not Boring But Not Great
16 September 2012
This film is reminiscent of 80's Hong Kong comedies, some of which felt like they were filmed at double speed. There some very familiar faces, especially actor/producer Eric Tsang and lead actor Feng Shui Fan, both of whom acted in the comedies I was referring to. The story is of a father (feng Shui) and his children, Mei (Theresa Mo) a lawyer married to Eric's unambitious character, a daughter who works as the manager of a market who looks somewhat androgynous but wants to create the illusion she is pregnant (Denise Ho) and a young son (6Wing, who is infatuated with a TV personality. Basically, Feng Shui is trying to keep the family together, they go through various "criseses". While it is a comedy that sometimes tries too hard, there is a little heart to it. Recommended, but it is not a great film, but it does run quickly and effortlessly through its ninety six minutes.
