      Why Him

      Given that I gave 4 stars to the last movie that didn't feel so good, I gave this one 5 stars. I go out to watch a movie with my cousin every Christmas. I chose it this year. I have to say that this is a family movie that is very suitable for Christmas. As for the depth of the movie, there are family affection and love, and the three views of the female subject are also positive. As for the others, just look at it. (The spoiler is included below) When I first saw it, I really felt that the...

      Rich is the boss

      It's really bullshit to let a child say so many vulgar swear words, especially in the last paragraph, where the son takes Lao Tzu to get rid of it, alas... Maybe I'm really old. Lao Bai, Lao Bai, how can such a quality actor perform this play. And as soon as the woman saw that her boyfriend had no money, she immediately said that he was a lie. The title of this film should be changed to: Rich is the boss! Completely drunk! In the end, he even pretended to refuse to marry him, and became...

      Why him: violent comedy, the tenderness of failure

      Watch at Gateway Film Center on January 2, 2017

      Comedy is an art. There are comedies that are performed through the body movements of the characters, and there are also comedies that are stacked and pave the way through contradictions, and finally burst into laughter. But at present, our market is more of a kind of "violent comedy": by violently piling up elements that make people laugh, and using a lot of tri-vulgar content to obtain comedy effects. The level of this kind of...

      It's hard to hide the true colors

      The prince is a fairy tale of Silicon Valley who writes code geeks.

      She looks very sweet and lovely, and he looks raspy, but also comfortable.

      She was an unexpected gain, although she didn't have any sense of existence, she was a pure and lovely beauty next door.

      He is gentle, attentive, considerate and loves her very much. Purely childish feelings.

      He acted very hard and he was fascinated by his hand.

      He is very cute. His smile was so healing.

      A touch,...

    Evaluation action

    Certain plot arrangements and settings of the film have led to some very old, excessive and farce-filled scenes. Even if the creator has more talent and enough comedy time, these jokes will not shine, and when the audience sees these It will be difficult to understand. (Review of "The Film Stage") 
    Thanks to the performances of the two leading actors and their inconsistent with the roles, the film is surprisingly cordial and friendly....(
