This movie was supposed to show before Chinese new year, a typical movie category which is win laugh of audiences. The bottom line is to let people have a happy new year.
So, it might not have much of elements we'd like to see in Oscars. Nevertheless, it is worth watching ... if you can understand Chinese well. Most of the dialog can't be translated to English without losing its real meaning. Some laughters even can't be understand without really live in China in recent years. After all, it is a Chinese movie.
I've seen much worse Hollywood movies. After watching it, you basically forget what you've just seen. I sleep over some 'famous' ones as well. At least for this movie, you will remember several of its dialogs, at least within Chinese society.
