Audience Member Slapstick comedy was never my thing. (Mr. Bean is the only exception, though not all the time, and I've never really seen a full Charlie Chaplin movie.) I had my laughs but I'd rather not see this again. The story wasn't that good either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member haha...this film is very funny...Stepn Chou and Sandra Ng teams up really well. I assume that they will get marry...because they always acted a pair of couple in their early career...Now they have their own partner, i hope they will happiness forever...
