Ni hao, Li Huanying

Watch this since heard of crazy box office in China. Take an overview of storyline highlight that it's a time travel theme. My first impression is such an old theme how can the box office be no.1? During the first hour and half, I feel it's really mediocre and storyline just so what as expected and not funny at all, it deserves a 3 is what I gave. However, things change for the last 30 minutes, unexpected is one of the reasons. But the most succeed part is it touches audience hearts for sure cuz the motherhood. I believed it's a portrait of everyone with their mom, it is thing that probably everyone would want to happen to make up the regrets and do better in their past. This movie makes that happen and give everyone a big consolation and purify our soul. Meaningful story get applaud but this one is so special. 7 is my final rating.

The movie is a good interpretation of maternal love, Maternal love is incomparable love no matter how you give back. And the structure of the movie is clever. The director wants to use this movie to dedicate her mother to make up for her regrets for her mother, just like the protagonist in the movie tries her best to make up her regrets after time travel, but finally you will find you cannot make up the maternal love no matter what you do.

A movie full of most real feelings. Remember to watch sketch first foreign viewers if any.

If you could go back in time, where would you go? To this question, Jia Ling answers: back to before my mom was married! Through this movie, she travels back in time to make her mom's life "better." This movie is Jia Ling's tribute to her late mother, who passed away when Jia Ling was only 19. She integrates humor to tell an incredible story. The second half of the film is what really gets the tears flowing. The story is incredibly beautiful, and the emotions are extremely raw and real. I laughed from start to end, but found myself unable to hold back tears. A mother's love for her child and a child's realization... truly a must see. I highly recommend this film!

A tear quencher, you can easily tell how much this film means to Jia Lin. However, apart from the ending, while the rest of the film is funny, it is very much in the mold of recent Chinese comedies, and it is greatly helped out by a very strong supporting cast. The last 10 or so minutes is not an easy accomplishment though, it is very much a career and lifetime defining moment for someone to pour this much personal emotions on film. Accomplishing this is perhaps more important than any amount of box office for Jia.
