Objectively speaking, this is a comedy romance movie that you can read while watching a chat, use it as a background sound, and watch it for a while.

A blunt, even a little bit of a reporter, one day finds it necessary to adapt As a social rule, only successful men can get the woman they love. When one day they get both fame and fortune, they realize that these are not what they want. So, they abandoned everything and returned to the simplicity of the heart. Obviously, this is an old fashioned The genre movie. Not to mention, not successful.

From the name, it's long enough, and the humorous expression really fits Simon Pegg's performance. A series of embarrassing things he did make people close to him. This is the beginning of the betrayal of the audience, but the audience gradually fell in love with this character. Because he was stupid, reckless, and did not consider the consequences. But then? When Yang found out that some female colleagues he liked had sex with him After the hypocritical boss reunites.... the film tells us to stop being ourselves, it is normal to join the trend of chasing status. When you have a career, you will have a life. So, a man who is eager to prove himself' It's normal, and it's on the rise. But this turning point is very sudden, and there is no more ink. Therefore, the character of the protagonist Yang is tormented. A man who is angry and wants to stand out. This is the fatal wound that this film cannot hide. Because not to say that the protagonist is no longer charismatic, that is, when his character and ideas no longer attract the audience, this is no longer a good movie. Here

, it is obvious that now, this film is not about ideals and struggles, but about a love story. But, in fact, the most complete and most detailed thing involved is probably Yang's dedication to film actresses , but there is no doubt that there is very little love in it, and it can't even be called love. The only thing that shows the love relationship should be the relationship between Yang and a female colleague. At this point, the film is also very rough. The foreshadowing is also It was just a few incidents that ended up being able to communicate with each other and be together perfectly. This is probably the second big sharp turn of the film. Because the audience can definitely guess the ending, this process is doubly boring.

All in all, the film just passed by in a daze.
