Review
by Kozo: |
Wong Jing’s latest New Year’s Comedy is crap, but good for
a few laughs between all the groans. Game show host Nat Chan
Bak-Cheung is the God of Lucky Fortune, who travels to earth
to find the reincarnated Angel Nine (Christy Chung), who was
banished for loving another immortal. However, her heavenly
love Michael Wong has been reincarnated too, as a swishy rock
star. Helping Chan is Anita Yuen as a super massage woman
(?).
It goes without saying: hijinks ensue.
The "comedy" in this ninety-minute exercise in inconsequence
is dumb, not to mention sophomoric, but with Wong Jing that’s
a given. It’s all rather harmless, but the excessive comedy
becomes very tiring very fast. Wong Jing more or less assaults
you with his brand of obnoxious comedy. What that means to
somebody is a person-by-person thing, but it could prove fatal
to some. And besides, any film that paints "Ah Leck"
as being even remotely desirable has got something seriously wrong with it.
Helping matters some are tons of
star cameos and references, including plenty that may fly
by most people. Still, it's all for naught; this is a tiresome
comedy which is only recommended for those with time to kill.
The film’s only saving grace: Francis Ng, returning as Ugly
Kwan from the Young and Dangerous series. His welcome
cameo manages to bring some spark to the proceedings. (Kozo
