| Little Hsiao Chi (Leung Jun-Git) encounters friendly ghost Chien Jen (Sek Kin) and with his help Hsiao Chi might be able to pair up his parents Maggie (Josephine Siao) and Joe (Ti Lung, sporting a black cowboy hat in almost every scene) again. Shaw Brothers comedy of their latter, more mediocre production years so this potentially sweet and pleasant tale registers flat and annoying instead. Considering the talent on display, you can definitely put forth the theory that the filmmakers within the studio had stopped caring. Sek Kin and his kid co-star does show sincerity but it's effort wasted. Also with Nat Chan, Walter Tso (in his trademark inspector-wear), Elaine Kam and Wong Wan-Si. |
