what are you expecting to have from these fluffy, adorable, cuddly... and some say yummy creature -- Bunny in this year?
as we are entering the Year of Bunny in the Chinese zodiac, there are numbers of film-makers from different countries have managed to get the new year off to a festive and fun start by taking in numbers of enjoyable Chinese New Year movies.
in M'sia, we have 《天天好天 Great Day》; in S'pore, they have 《大世界 It's A Great Great World》 and 《笑着回家 Homecoming》. In China, they have 《神奇侠侣 Mr. and Mrs. Incredible》; in Hong Kong, they have 《最强喜事 All's Well End's Well》and 《我爱香港·开心万岁 I Love Hong Kong》. Even in Hollywood, they have 《The Green Hornet》.
so many movies to watch, how could people are still complaining Chinese New Year is boring?!
I brought the old mama to watch a movie in the evening. A movie from the producer of 《72 Tenants of Prosperity》.
《我爱香港·开心万岁 I Love Hong Kong》is another particular brand of comedy which is affectionately known as mou lei tau in Cantonese. Despite of the mou lei tau element, the movie deals with the lives of ordinary Hong Kong citizens in the government-leased low cost flats. It is a guffaw-inducing movie indeed. But in the same time, it delivers the message of what it really means to be living within a tightly-knit large community or as well as a colony.
same as the movie 《72 Tenants of Prosperity》, the movie is star power galore. 198 stars in a film. See if you can spot them on display in a single film. But I guess it is a futile attempt in order to spot the 198 stars. Readers, here is my 'lil reminder. Do not forget that M'sia government is so good at trimming the movie scenes. I think parts of the scenes had been trimmed for unknowing reason. Anyhow it does not ruin the whole movie, that is what I should be deeply grateful for.
after all I shall say... the movie is freaking nice. More hilarious scenes than 《72 Tenants of Prosperity》. The theater was full of laughter. Everyone was amused by the story. The old mama and I were included.
to be concluded, it is an undoubtedly Hong Kong comedy movie. And I think it is the movie that you really have to watch in spite of the moviegoers are spoiled for the choices this year.
