Reception

[edit]

The film grossed CN¥287 million (US$40 million) on its opening weekend in China.[3]As of December 22, 2016, it grossedUS$69.3 million.

Reviews of the film were largely negative, causing the film to open below local forecast numbers.[11]Maggie Lee ofVarietycalled the film "an over-the-top and indigestible romantic comedy produced and co-scripted by Wong Kar-wai lacking any of the auteur's usual finesse".[12]Clarence Tsui ofThe Hollywood Reportersaid that the film is an "impermeable melange of shapeless storytelling, rehashed gags, vacuous relationships and painfully over-the-top performances from its usually top-notch cast".[13]
