So was the wait worth it? Well, we were prolly asking the same question when we marched into the cinema hall just barely a few minutes into the year of the rat.
In a nutshell - i liked it. It's not classic Stephen Chow but it works for me. But one would be disappointed if one was expecting loads of his mo-lei-tau kind of humour. It has it's nonsensical moments, tho. But no rolling on the floor kind of laughter. Not from me, tho.
I kinda expected it. After all, the star of the show is not really Stephen Chow, but rather, these are the stars:-
To me, the real star is the boy. Girl, rather. It's not hard to be won over by her and her performance.
So, go and watch it! It's a wonderful family fare for this year's Spring Festival. There are laughs, there are pretty good special effects, there are moments which will move you to tears - in sadness and in joy. There are nice camera angles.
Oh - for the guys, there's this new star too:-
*A surprising trivia about this song that i just discovered is that this version is actually a cover version. The original was done by this group called Klaatu!!! This version was done with 160 musicians and was a bigger hit.
