OK, one of my favourite actor's new film is here!! Who else? Stephen Chow!! Hurray!! I went for a 30 minutes queue at the cinema and got a seat at the fifth row from the front. Dammit! Bad luck! But still its Stephen Chow, you gotta bear with it.
The story is about a poor father (Stephen Chow) and his son (Kitty). Both of them live in a very old and broken house and the family is supported by his father alone, who's working in a construction site. The father has to pick up rubbish as toys for his son. Although poor, the father still has high hope for his son and therefore work extra hard for the private school fee. One day, the father picks up a mysterious ball from the rubbish and gives to his son....
I never expect much from a Chinese New Year film, because CNY film must be funny, funny, funny, happy, happy, happy and have a happy ending. LAME! But this film falls way below my expectation. The storyline is very weak, some parts of the film should be focused more. It feels like just cincai pass through. The ending isn't very touching as well. It must be a big tear gas!! LOL. And the most important point is, IT'S NOT FUNNY!!! Maybe I held too much expectation from Stephen Chow. I guess I should set my standard lower for his next film.
Still, this film has some really good stuff. The visual effects of the alien dog is very impressive for an Asian film. Stephen Chow must be a fan of CG. All the films he directed seem to use a lot of CG in it. Second thing would be the kid's acting. Fantastic performance by her (the son is a "her" in real life), with some luck, she will have a bright acting career.
No matter how bad dis film is, I will still support Stephen Chow!! HURRAY!!

Ya.. It is way below expectation.. I think the director(stephen chow) should focus more on his role instead of his son and the alien dog..cat? watever :D
the most funny part for me is the tv interview about UFO and those 2 super XL students..
the most touching part: none
i think he focus too much about the alien dog GC ...its cute but it is lack of the storyline and flow of the movie .. cincai die, cincai revive ....
another things there is over 70% of Cantonese dubbed.. frustration for me, dont like it :S wat to do, mainland market so big....
