Summary: Funny, but stupid
During the Golden Age of the Hong Kong movie industry, the comedies were being churned out one after another. In my opinion, there were probably only about 10% of those that were any good, that's not to say that they were not funny. This movie is the latter.

It's pretty dumb at times, but some of the jokes are very funny. George Lam was a great comedian most of the time, and together with John Shum, they made it work great. Maggie Cheung in another early role too, looking very nice back then. But not being used as an actress as much as being on the screen looking nice. The story is pretty much nothing, but it's worth seeing. I would not count this movie as being a comedy classic of any sort, but if you want a good laugh, you should check it out...but there are plenty of other gems out there!

Rating: 2.5/5

(This rating is based on the year & genre, so don't think it's based as a comparison on new releases etc.)
