How could this recipe not work? You take a great actress, add some fabulous cameos, sprinkle in a dash of nostalgia, and whip it up with a bit of wit... and voila! You have "Golden Chicken".

Like the reviewer before me, I also felt it was refreshing to finally see a movie made geared towards the local audience. Hong Kong is such a unique place and it was nice to see it and its people the center of attention for once.

Nostalgia reigns supreme in the movie; the 80's flashbacks were hilarious, as well as a bit wistful. It was nice to revisit the time of bad hairstyles and neon green miniskirts, and to remember the opulence and wealth of the decade.

Sandra Ng did a great job for the most part. She was a tad slapstick in some scenes, but toned it down nicely to give her character some depth. The cameos by various actors were giggle-inducing, as a few of them played against type and didn't mind poking fun at their own macho images.

Although the economy isn't showing many signs of recovery, this movie makes a vallant effort to remind us to keep smiling, even when Andy Lau mysteriously appears in your living room and tells you to work that sexy moan. :)
