• Surprisingly good

  This film tells the story of an employee who is very unlucky in both his professional and personal lives. He discovers a way to delete unpleasant people from his life and substitute them with nice people. I was skeptical of the film at first, as it looked like a cheesy and plot less romantic comedy. Throughout the film, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it is. The first few minutes is super cheesy, but after that the film gets better and better. I really like the plot, it has a good balance of Hong Kong style comedy and thought provoking drama. I am also surprised by the number of really big name cameos, such as Maria Cordero and Julian Cheung. They really brighten up the screen. The English subtitles are quite bad quality, unfortunately, only about half of that is said get translated to English, and there are a lot of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Many local jokes will be lost in translation, but it is funny nonetheless.
