Doesn't Quite Hold Up
24 December 2008
Not an installment of the British Carry On series, this is a Hong Kong film about the goings on in a fairly upscale hotel. Hidden cameras abound and you are treated to a dizzying array of slapstick nonsense. Some of it is marginally funny but it is more a silly film. It has comedic actors in it, like Jacky Cheung, Joey Wang, Eric Tsang and Cherie Cheung but the film really doesn't hold your interest. Its more humor for humor's sake and a lot of the situations appear labored. Its a little risqué at times, but only marginally. Although it passes the time and is not too long, I don't recommend it. The aforementioned actors have all done better in other films. This one doesn't quite hold up.
