good comedy movie

I found this film a long time ago and downloaded it to my computer, but I haven’t had time to watch it or watch other movies, so I didn’t watch this movie until tonight. At the beginning of the movie, I saw a wonderful debate. As the plot of the film progresses, I keep laughing. It's not that I have a low laugh point. This year's Macau Storm 3 didn't make me laugh, so as a comedy film, this film is relatively successful in my opinion, of course it can't compare to it. Jim Carrey's is funnier, but even so, it's hilarious. Moreover, the teaching of the male protagonist in the film is exactly what I yearn for when I was a child. It can be said that it has a good educational significance. It tells us to try and make our own choices in the face of our unknown things, instead of standing still.
