When showing the tickets, a person from the staff warned me: "Sir, you know this is a Chinese Movie?". I smiled and nodded : "Of course".
Ah Beng's reaction to being asked to cancel his Chinese New Year holiday to go on a mission with a RM1 million reward is hilarious. His character was for me the source of several laugh-out-loud comedic moments, while some of the dramatic moments fall flat.
While pacing and plot could be improved, the movie delivered as a Lunar New Year comedy, complete with the "harmonious family" ending, which is meta-comedic in itself.
