Reception
[edit]The film received mostly negative reviews. Sina Hong Kong called it "the worst Hong Kong film of 2016"[2] and the South China Morning Post called it an "unfunny, uninspired disaster of a film, which can best be described as a series of largely pointless skits".[3] It received four nominations for Apple Daily's Golden Plum Award (where readers vote on the worst Chinese-language film of the year), with Alan Tam winning Worst Actor.[4]
