If Ha Ha Ha Happy New Year had stuck to one genre, it could have been something special. Instead, it tries to juggle action, comedy, drama, and even sci-fi, and the result is a film that feels a little all over the place. While the futuristic concept of AI and cloning is interesting, it's not entirely convincing, and the mix of genres doesn't always blend well.
That said, the film does get the Chinese New Year atmosphere right. The bright colors, festive music, and celebratory tone all contribute to the holiday spirit. However, the emotional core-friendship, family, and togetherness-feels somewhat forced, making it hard to connect with the characters on a deeper level.
Performance-wise, the cast delivers an okay but forgettable effort. No one truly stands out, and some performances even feel stiff. The comedy, a major selling point, is a mixed bag-some jokes land well, but others feel awkward and cringey. The crime investigation aspect keeps things moving, but it lacks real tension or suspense.
Verdict Ha Ha Ha Happy New Year has moments of fun, but its messy genre mashup and weak emotional beats hold it back. While it delivers a festive atmosphere and an intriguing sci-fi premise, the execution feels unpolished. If you're looking for a casual holiday watch, it's passable-but don't expect anything groundbreaking.
