Summary: Poor
[My Neighbours are Phantoms]

The main thing I think I should point out, is that this film is certainly more suited to the likes of Stephen Chow, as the last reviewer (STSH) also mentioned. Its cheap jokes and overall look is no surprise coming from Wong Jing, but some of it does have its moments. Not to say I particually recommend this, because on the whole it’s stupid.

As suggested by the title, it’s a ghost comedy, sort of Adams Family feel to it (yes, yet another one!). One of the cheapest jokes in the film involves Amy Yip, and I think you can easily guess what it involves, and that one ‘joke’ alone sums up what the rest of the film has to offer. I won’t go into the story, as there is not really much of one, it’s just odd goings on in a house.

Forget about the acting, it’s just not there, and Nat Chan and Sharla Cheung are both extreamly annoying, but what’s new.

Stephen Chow fans would like this (cheap jokes), but otherwise I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else.

[2/5]
