My Comments: This movie claims to be Hong Kong Blockbuster yet again for 2009. It was another movie outing for me & Kimmy as I've rushed to the cinemas to watch this movie. I've tried to search for the entire cinemas looking for couple seats but unfortunately only GSC Tropicana City have is as at 1.00pm on Sunday. The movie was scheduled at 3.00pm Sunday. Without anymore hesitation, I went to online booking and finally I got the seats. After the movie finishes, it was a barely dissapointing movie of the evening. I taught it will be a hit but unfortunately the movie doesn't perform as it seems. The jokes was kinda lame and the storyline was abosultely senseless. Only a few innovations that impress me by Louis Koo but still it does not meet my requirement this time. It was a pretty bad Wong Jing movie and I hope I can see more improvement in future. It you really don't have movie to watch during the day, maybe you can consider watching this movie. RATING: 2/5
