For me, or most of people in China, it's just a comedy for the end of the year. Maybe the director really want to add some factors about chinese culture into the movie, and you can notice his effort in the film, but obviously the commercial aim is the biggest matter. Investors wanted this movie to open the world market, therefore they invited an Americian actor to join the crew. All these efforts can be seen clearly in the movie. So you just watch it for fun, and if you want to learn china from an deep and cultural view, then you chose the wrong movie.

Anyway you will know that is the way that they make comedy in china, most of laugh are from pure language, which is not a simple sentence to translate into other language. It's very hard to understand for other countrie's people, I suppose.

In the past several years, the director made a lot of this kind of commercial comedy movies. He admit they are commercial and he works very hard. People like them for the humor and good pictures at the end of the year, usually that's the most important festival in China. I watched almost all his movies, but there is not strong impression on me, I even can't be sure the people in which movie.

If you have patience to read until here,I would be very grateful. I tell you one more thing that I feel really sorry about the people who said 'china is a mental house now'.
