So, we approached this movie very very carefully with near to zero expectation, since it is a free ticket, there is not much harm. And surprise surprise, it was quite a funny decent movie.
In the same league as typical chinese new year movie this one two years by TVB, this story rides on the success of a variety show by Lisa Wong and her 3 sidekicks, better known as Fook Look Sau. Basically same name as the 3 Gods in chinese folklore, the movie is far from supernatural. And luckily Lisa Wong is not in the movie.
The movie just follow the misadventure of 3 young chap. Wong Cho Lam plays 1/3 of the 3 losers who wanted to marry his long time girlfriend played by Fiona Sit. The father, played by Eric Tsang, was not convince of his capabilities to take care of the daughter so ask him to earn a HUGE sum of money before he would agree to their marriage. Cho Lam enlist the help of the other 2 losers played by Lee Si Jit and Yuen Siu Cheong. The 3 of them device a plan for street show as wrestler. By coincidence they manage to beat a professional wrestler from US. So they came back for revenge, and that is supposedly to be the highlight of the show.
There are so many cameos by TVB and other actors, actress. Besides, the acting is spontaneous, not pretentious, and the chemistry is rather good. The jokes are really funny at some point, and not low class as WingChun. For example, the last wrestling tactic was supposedly from angry bird, and that was rather funny how they imitate it. Yes, the story was bit far fetch at times, dredgy at times especially in the middle part, but one can live through it.
Probably the movie will remind you of one of those movies in Chinese New Year, but the good thing is, the movie really do entertain.
ratings: 3 poink!
comments: though the jokes are lame at times, it did what it set out to do, to entertain.
