| Still maintaining its cutesy sensibility and absolute concrete portrayal of its underlying morals and life lessons, Happy Ghost II doesn't particularly fail considering the kids is its target audience. Raymond Wong this time plays the reincarnation of Scholar Pik, trying to work out a balance between having happiness and supernatural powers. All while educating a girl's class synonymous with bad behaviour...
As with the first film, Clifton Ko offers up the most laughs whenever Raymond Wong interferes with his powers onto the real world and since the package is so inoffensive, Happy Ghost II remains consistently semi-pleasant to follow. Despite its very apparent flaws behind the shiny surface and the typical Hong Kong cinema tangents it ventures into (planted singing number being one) it's very easy to forgive. Fennie Yuen, May Lo, Charine Chan, Chan Maan-Loh and Melvin Wong co-stars. |
