The story can't be told well, it's not as funny as Journey to the West, the rhythm is messed up, and the abrupt feeling that the male and female protagonists fall in love is unprecedented. The theme of environmental protection, can you stop making such cruel jokes, there are even film critics who say that people feel the same way, this paragraph is clearly just trying to make people laugh, embarrassing, it is terminal cancer, and the feelings are reserved for publishing a book.

It should be Stephen Chow's worst movie, full of embarrassing and not funny lines, low-quality special effects, and annoying advertisements. The passage in the article and Lu Zhengyu's performance are actually the funniest part (but Lu Zhengyu is really funny).
