Stephen Chow has an off day, takes a dump, and presents it to his fans. It is really that bad. This movie is not funny, there is no attempt at humor, nor does it make up for with any great visuals or CGIs. There is not a single funny line coming from Stephen himself, and in fact he is not even the main character in the film. The marketing for this film is deceiving, which is why I am ever more disappointed. From what I have recently heard, this film may have been made by Stephen for poor children in mainland China, but even for doing so, his idea falls face flat and it all comes off worse.
Stephen takes a more supporting role and lets the kids (who are all really just annoying brats) run the entire film. In fact I would not be surprised if it were actually the kids in the film who actually wrote, produced and directed the film. To hear stuff like the film took 3 years to make, leaves me wondering what they did this whole time, as the script could have been written in a week's time, the filming in a month, and the CGI and post-production in 3 months.
By all accounts, if you have 6-8 years olds, let them watch this film (that is only if you don't have a good Pixar films around, or ET), but steer yourself clear, as any expectation that you may have for a Stephen Chow film would leave you pulling your hair off your head and throwing up. Steer clear off this junk.
