The New King of Comedy

Stephen Chow Stephen Chow Stephen Chow... Where do I even begin. The New King of Comedy does have the signature Stephen Chow humour, but is definitely not on par with his previous works. It pains me to see that his dazzle is truly peeling off. This work feels like an insult to the original King of Comedy which produced so many classic lines and plots that are ingrained into a generation of movie goers, and nothing in this film is even close to matching that. As the plot unravels, things don't seem congruent or match up and the funny bits feels more awkward than enjoyable. Even so, I look forward to his future works, no matter how bad, his signature slapstick style of humour is something that I grew up with and I'm willing to give him as many attempts as possible.

Stephen Chow never disappoints, this is another of his master piece. Credits to the cast for solid acting, from the main actress Jingwen E to all the supporting casts. The acting was so on point.

Recommended watch for everyone

Don't come in expecting the Looney Tunes level of insanity from Kung Fu Hustle; this flick is subdued in comparison. It still got tons of laughs, slapstick comedy and heart. It lags a bit in the middle but hey, any new Stephen Chow film is always welcome. Even his lesser movies are way more fun than most of the dreck they populates streams like Netflix.

Compare to the old one, it's has better filming and acting

Went to the cinema wasn't expecting much. Was pleasantly surprised, really good movie to watch during Chinese new year. Light hearted movie fun for all. Acting was top notch too!
