FBA: Great Day review (Malaysia)
Another comic heartwarmer from the team behind Woohoo!, but mellower and more didactic.In the 1970s and early 1980s, Hong Kong's Hui brothers found success with comedies which focused on working-class folk and their hare-brained get-rich-quick schemes.
Fortune Buddies employs that same formula, but without success. Actor-hosts Louis Yuen, Wong Cho Lam and Johnson Lee share an easy chemistry and have that will-do-anything-for-a-laugh spirit.
Despite this, Buddies is only intermittently amusing. The Mandarin dub of the original Cantonese dialogue probably did not help, either.

Lin Chi-ling has been maligned for her attempts at acting and singing, but the supermodel may have finally established herself as a bona fide thespian by appearing in a theatrical adaptation of Red Cliff in Tokyo.
Plus, the usual weddings, birthdays, and divorces.

Poor Lin Chi-ling. I don't mind her baby voice - some of the TV commercials (and TV newscasters) and women singing traditional songs still use the baby voice. I think she'll capture people's attention with or without her baby voice. :)
They had the Red Cliff play at The National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing (the "egg"), but I don't think Lin Chi-ling was in it.
Some of the Chinese reports I read said that Lin Chi-Ling learned to speak from her "pubic area". Presumably, it actually meant her abdomen.
