This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
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.
