Review:

This is a spinoff of the Gold Chicken Series, a Hong Kong comedy film starring Sandra Ng. Where do I being, Sandra Ng is one of my favourite comedic Hong Kong actress, I've seen most of her films and they are hilarious to watch. At first this movie started a bit unstable for me as it was a bit different to the Gold Chicken series, but as the movie went on the comedy aspect captured me and I enjoyed it very much. The series of events the appeared in the movie went smoothly throughout but there were some chops and changes that got me confused. However overall with all the comedy acts, "Hong Kongnese" puns and idioms it made up for the bad aspects. The main character of the movie is meant to be a guy, however the one who played that role pulled it off so good that it almost made me believe it was actually a man. Sandra's male features and makeup were done so well it was hard to tell if it was really her, or anther actor. A movie based off comedy, it doesn't usually please me, what this film really pulled me in and I had a great laugh, not t mention cringed at certain parts, my hands were really curling up. All the actors and actresses in the movie took a role that I would have never expected, which was another great aspect, they really did pull of their character so well that it seemed so realistic. Over all this movie please me, actors and actresses were great, plot was good, just a little choppy but that was alright, but the comedy aspect took me off my seat.


RATING (out of 5):
****
