Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
At first glance, this seems a lot like "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", the great John Candy classic, but with Chinese characteristics. Instead of traveling home for Christmas, in this version, the two unlikely travel companions meet and have to share unfortunate circumstances on their trip during Chinese New Year. In the beginning, the naive country-bumpkin character tries to bring what looks like 3-4 gallons of milk onto the plane only to be thwarted by China's version of the TSA. He protests by drinking the entire jug in front of an impatient line of fellow passengers.From there, the film gives a great glimpse of contemporary Chinese society including overcrowding, scams, knockoff products, the yawning gap between the affluent and the less well-to-do but also shows the warmth and sincerity as well. All done in a well paced, light-hearted enjoyable flick.
