Reception

[edit]

John Lui of The Straits Times wrote: "At times gaudily surrealistic, and at other moments down-to-earth, the movie showcases Han's command of both kitsch and kitchen-sink drama. What shines through is his voice: laconic, deadpan, warm and always entertaining."[4]

Li Yiyun of the Lianhe Zaobao rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 for entertainment and 3 stars out of 5 for artistry.[5]
