Summary: Funny Pop Culture Movie
Wong Jing directs another great comedy. I've loved his previous movies and this pop-comedy does not dissapoint. The movie had me laughing out loud (literally) on more than a few occassions.
Now that HKMDB has a summary on the main page you can just read that for more info on the plot. But the shorter summary is: this movie follows an actor who is a coward in real life but must become a hero like he plays in the movies to win back his former wife.

The best part of this movie are the parodies and pop culture references throughout the movie. The Matrix spoof scene in the beginning was hilarious. Also you'll see references to Infernal Affairs, Enter the Dragon, Conmen in Vegas, and many other movies. If you've seen any of the blockbuster movies of the past year you'll be laughing at so many scenes. Luckily this movie doesn't rely solely on it's pop culture catch and has plenty of other comedy such as the "regression virus" which makes people act like 4 year olds.

Recommended 8/10
