| The Hollywood ReporterClarence TsuiDeng and Yu have delivered a ceaseless juggernaut of incoherently-strung together gags like a lightweight Stephen Chow; this could make Adam Sandler, who could easily be imagined dabbling in something like this, look like a nuanced artist. |
| VarietyMaggie LeeA helming debut for mainland star Deng Chao and theater director Yu Baimei, who have claimed that they’re pushing the envelope of Chinese comedy but have in fact merely pushed the genre to a new low in terms of racist and homophobic humor. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterThe humor, when it isn’t overcooked, can be downright insulting or worse. |
| User ReviewBobby LSo funny really deng chao is really good at it |
| User ReviewMorgmarcThis movie's homophobic, racist and sexist "humour" completely fails to entertain. Acting is completely over the top, and its rare serious moments still hold no entertainment value. All of the characters have little to no like able qualities and it's structure is extremely confusing. |
