A Heartwarming Feel Good Chinese New Year Movie
I came into the taiwanese cinema, thinking it would be a silly comedy to rest my brain but i found myself near tears at some points of the movie.Came with low expections, was very surprised.
I think the movie is well constructed, the wrapping up / ending was amazing too.
I think most of the characters were well developed even though a few of them got left out a little bit. You really feel for the characters.
The actors played their roles perfectly.
I simply loved watching it.
The only negative point I would say is the cheap CGI or cheap humor SOMETIMES but it doesn't make the movie bad.
It's not a life changing movie, it's a feel good movie.
