Reception
John Lui of The Straits Times rated the film two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the part of the film set in the 1950s, while criticising the third act, writing "In a third-act blunder, the movie lurches forward in time to a mind-numbingly hysterical set of events in the present day, filled with silly coincidences and overstuffed bits in which as many actors as possible say as many lines as possible." Luo Yingling rated the film two stars out of five, criticising the acting.
