This is a period comedy from Hong Kong, a story about the happy-go-lucky people of Choi Hung village, where there is love, secrets, jealousy and corruption.
The setting is nicely done with colorful period costumes and cinematography. I was excited that some of my favorite Hong Kong actresses, Gigi Lai and Amanda Lee, were in this movie. However, this movie is basically a goofy and messy attempt at being a laughable comedy. The plot goes all over the place and the slapstick humor is too screwball to be entertaining.
Hong Kong is known for its wild comedies, but a lot of them have plots you could actually follow and have a formula that is both suspenseful and captivating. This film is just one disorganized fair of screwy jokes after the other. I wouldn't bother with this film and check something else instead.
Grade F
