Comments

peep Jan 09 2011 8:49 am I loved this film. So incredibly funny, though ok, it was exaggerated and cartoony at a few parts. Doesn't make it less funny though. Kinda reminds me of Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle, but less ridiculous and more ironic and satiric. Jiang Wen, Ge You, Chen Kun and Zhou Yun were great. :)
