This is one of those movies that I caught on Netflix a few weeks ago that kind of gives me the 50/50's because while it did have some good parts to it - it just didn't feel as seamless as I think it could have been overall. A little less drama, some more comedy, and the same vibe from the trailer throughout the whole film could have gone a long way.
But it's still worth adding to your collection (if only to have it).
A couple of my favorites from the film:
- Steph Song who plays Meimei, and Bai Ling who plays Deedee and their quest to get a monk to give up his "essence" (and yes, if you see it, you'll have to agree that even if you hate Bai Ling, they're two of the best characters).
- Chang Tseng who plays Chow Lin - because he just flat out steals every scene that he's in.
Just watch it with one eye closed.
