The tender song of a frustrated old man

The old Uncle Tang, who had been idle for a while, finally returned to the world, co-wrote the script, directed and acted (don’t know if it was the first one) this warm story. An optimistic old man who didn't have much skills besides cooking, unexpectedly lost his job. It can be said that he has no skills inside, no place to stand on the outside, no penny and half, no good couple on his side, But still face the future with an optimistic and positive attitude. Such a story, despite being overly warm and even sensational in the context of the economic downturn, is as warm as the original terminal of happiness. As a stranger who stands in his 30s and has no power to stand up, he does not know whether he will see his reflection in the movie.
The cost of this kind of film is not high, and the only ending special effects are done as if outsourced to China. The plot is simple, lively and clichéd, the characters are distinctively monotonous, ambiguous like YY, and the only thing that can attract people is probably the actors.
The old Uncle Tang Baodao is not old, although it is a successful man who has managed the role of a frustrated uncle, he is still very comfortable, especially when he sends Big Mouth Zhu home and kisses him and hides outside the door with his proud hands and feet dancing, he will be a lazy person. The uncle's role suddenly came to life. As for the Aventure that was delivered to the door, it was joyful and wandering. He didn't take it until after graduation, and finally turned a brainless love movie into an old man's cart who did something.
Big Mouth Zhu didn't make a breakthrough, and still took the approach of love comedy. For so many years, from seducing Zhengtai to seducing the man to now seducing the uncle, it is still the old style of chasing and making three.
Except for the two protagonists, the biggest highlight of the actors seems to be George Takei, who plays Professor Matsutani. The wretched smile and nonsensical laughter remind us all the time that this product is possessed by Cui Chengguo's director Kim.
