There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

... View MoreThis is a typical Hong Kong ghost comedy with more goofy, nonsensical stuff than comic genius. Not much scary elements here - just plenty of ghost and tricks with the occasional funny acting and thrilling rides. It seemed much of the characters in the film suffers from bad luck in the hands of a genie in the bottle or some type.Lots of A-list actors in this film including Sandra Ng, Billy Lau, Alvina Kong and Wu Fung, but not an exciting or amusing film overall.Grade D+
... View MoreMaybe this wouldn't be so bad, I thought, as the movie started. Because of the popularity of horror comedies... or rather, "horror" comedies, in the 80's, Hong Kong mass-produced them so hard that storyline was frequently the least important factor. As long as there was a way to tie in cheap jokes and "funny" ghosts. The movie starts off without the ghost, thankfully, and it's just Sandra Ng sassing it up with some girlfriends. I love her but this is not one of her better works. It's fine for a while, thanks to her comedic genius, but then the whole stupid spiel about the ghost comes in and like a genie in a bottle, it lets her enact a whole bunch of well, really stupid fantasy sequences (as evidenced by the poster). The whole movie is a downhill ride, unfortunately.
