See more 12/20/2024 THE BEST. The director is a genius. See more 12/18/2024 Best Chinese movie of the year! See more 12/18/2024 This is the BEST comedy, ever! Writing is incredible (and incredulous). Acting is top notch. (Chemistry between the three female leads is insane.) But it is a lot more than just comedy. It probes life from many different angles. It also lavishly explores how an apology can be delivered. (Not sure how much this translates in another language, though.) The world need to see this movie.
