Rare comedy, not bad.

Like Chaplin, like Stephen Chow, like Jim Kelly, and like to watch French comedies. But recently, there are not many films that I can think of, especially the comedy films I have seen in Hong Kong or mainland China in the past two years.

Just like people who are addicted to smoking, if they can't get cigarettes for a long time, their addiction will become heavier and heavier, and their hearts will be hard to solve. It is not until they see this "All About Steve" that they can quench their thirst. I know Sandra (playing the big girl Mary) is America's No. 1 female comedian, and her acting won't let me down. From the blind date, Sandra has been in a pose, trying to "rape" the handsome guy in the car, and then wearing a bath towel and walking down the stairs and handrails to grind her chest, which will definitely make you want to laugh.

However, the screenwriter and director always interpret the storyline of one joy and one sorrow, one high and one low, and one depression and one uplift. I met a handsome guy, but lost my job. The handsome guy's careless compliments made the old girl feel that God was arranging her marriage, so she picked up the umbrella left by the handsome guy and pursued her all the way. From then on, Sandra's comedy talent's personal show began. The same is true of being dropped off by a female driver on a bus, and then constantly shunting good-hearted male truck drivers. In these Lorososso's dialogues, if you are careful, the words in them are very interesting. For example, when she just arrived at the report site of the three-legged baby girl, Mary used several words to say goodbye to an old Stove. And of course the word with the most letters in the world. The three-legged baby girl's report and the two scenes of chasing the tornado use Sandra's unique comic body language, which is very enjoyable.

Chaplin said that true comedy always brings tears to laughter. The story has been going on. Mary accidentally fell into the bottom of the mine and found a dumb girl who was carelessly left by a fireman, and then she really entered the climax. Mary's intelligence and kindness made me laugh and moved to tears, so I firmly believed that this was a rare comedy. The final outcome is of course what we think is the best outcome. Mary's intelligence and kindness will make us feel that the director's wonderful arrangement, the story's male lead Steve, may not be the cup of tea for Mary.

A good comedy can never be without green leaves, and Zhou Xingxing's film especially proves this. Several TV media people in the film, Steve, Hartman, Asian producers, media bosses, and big truck drivers are all good green leaves, especially the jokes of the old anchor Hartman, who thinks he has a handsome face for a day. Quite a few, he and another anchor's jumping into the well (for those who haven't seen it, please pay attention to the ten seconds after the end of the subtitles) laughing fruit arrangements are really ridiculous.

Comedy is the hardest thing to do, it's not a matter of cost. This is proved by domestic movies from both the positive and negative sides, so I don't want to say more.
