In the standard Hollywood life AB drama, the model is that the protagonist is stuck in life due to some transcendent power (like divine power), goes through hardships, finds himself, and most of them take the comedy route. This sub-genre has been tried and tested repeatedly, and a box office and word-of-mouth masterpiece has emerged from time to time.

As far as the film is concerned, the script is qualified, and it follows a fixed pattern. Except for the lack of laughter, the plot is not fun enough, the emotional line is OK, and the performance is fine. Eddie Murphy's comedy talent is still there.

Hollywood can be said to be very comfortable with this Asian similarity. India has also studied, and the level of "Watch and Watch" is very close to Hollywood. Compared with domestic films, "28-year-old underage" walks on two legs with a chick movie + life AB drama, which is a bit exaggerated, hypocritical, and the details are a bit boring. It is also a qualified product, with a box office of 100 million + for a new director Zhang Yimou Daughter Zhang Mo is also satisfied.
Contrasting with another "Endless", Fan Wei's version of "The Day of the Groundhog," is lost between exaggeration and realism. This kind of film is either ridiculous and nonsensical, or it is funny with the details of life ( It's like a movie in Peng Haoxiang's movie), vacillation will be unpleasant. Fan Wei himself is suitable for life-oriented comedy, not nonsensical. Because of the inaccurate positioning, it is difficult for "Yes" to make a breakthrough.
You watch "Love Saint", why did it explode? In addition to the good story line provided by the original version, there are also many comedy details. It will not look very exaggerated and not unreasonable.

Is it a farce or a comedy of life? Before writing the script, think clearly that even the same creative life AB drama will have two different directions.
