Swallowtail Butterfly

Fortune shines upon them when they find a cassette that will get them rich, but along with money, trouble will always follow.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
