User Reviews

You guys are too generous and too kind to

This childish and absurd lousy film. I am also amazed to you reviewers before me for your fathomless and bottomless patience that enabled you to sit through this brain-damaging ridiculous Chinese film. I really can't understand if you guys could give this film 5 even 7 stars, how those were justified to really deserve a fair 5, 6, or even high enough 7 stars films. I'm quite confused of your logic, because I almost suffered another depression when I tried to watch and finish this pathetic film. I was encouraged by you guys' reviews and decided to give this film a try, but I have to say you guys fooled me successfully.

This is so far one of the worst films out of China or Hong Kong(part of China now). Why these investors who got too much RMB never thought to donate it to build more schools for the poor, build some roads or safe little bridges in the countryside for the Chinese poor but instead wasted it on such drive-you-nuts foolish farce is always a myth that I could never understand.

DO NOT waste your time and dough on this ridiculousness, please.
