L² Comment:
Overall the movie is ok, the story is simple but too much celebrities make a mess. The story keep on showing these various artist instead of their act. I kinda like Bernice Liu (廖碧兒) & Joyce Cheng (鄭欣宜) performance. Bernice's character is very funny with her bulky bodyshape and her big teeth sticking out from her mouth; whereas Joyce took over the character which her mother (Lydia Sum) has acted before in 1973.
