Pathetic
Pathetic
| This film is disappointing. It's a low-budget reality-tv film that really should be broadcasted on tv instead of cinema. WHY do they squander money for such a crap. Actors like Miriam and Eric should never participate in this kind of movie. It just makes them worst. |

What were they thinking?
| Nice approach by the producer/director if they are trying to introduce reality TV shows, such as Big Brother or Survivor, to Hong Kong viewers, but I think most people expected more from this film especially after watching "Dummy Mommy Without a Baby", "Love Undercover" and "Dry Wood Fierce Fire" all starring Miriam Yeung. Besides, trying to add a Director-Contestant relationship into the script to make it more interesting just doesn't work. I'm sure that Eason is good actor, but by accepting the role of this stupid, dumb and dreamy director didn't do himself any favour either. I won't know how to categorise this film as it's neither a drama nor a comedy. Overall, I'm giving this film a 5 because probably for those of you who have never watched or even heard of Big Brother or Survivor might worth a go. Finally, if it's comedy you are looking for then, there are better options! |

A funny movie!
| Miriam has improved her skills of acting in movies a lot! It's a funny movie too! Especially the beginning and the end, when they were trying to ride bus and van in the cheapest way! The ending is not so good because Miriam's "real mom" came out and the family finally lost. I bet they were winning. Anyways, Miriam has done her very best and good to see "DoDo" Cheng became a movie actor after her excellence long time ago. She did a good job of teaching Miriam how to act her best too. |
