No action. No guns. No martial arts. No soft core porn. No masturbation material.

Given the demographics herein, most of you reading this can likely move on...

If, however, you have a family, and are ever so slightly sentimental, there is a lot to enjoy here. The acting and execution are perfectly set against a very cute science fictional story framework, and the emotions elicited are true and accurate--particularly for those of us that know what it is like to be single parents of young children.

The only downside one can attribute to this film is that...well...this is still Steven Chow. And you just know that at any minute he's going to lift up the curtain and reveal the whole thing to be an exercise in trickery!

But....it never happens. That tension is always hanging in the background....and yet, it never happens. In the end, I felt like I was taken along for thrilling but emotionally dangerous ride.

Watch it with your kids. They'll love it.
