    if you watched enough stephen chow's movies, this movies has no effect on you. Just how people who likes Stephen Chow in the West only knows Kungfu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer.

    But i guess people likes it because it validate them or that they dream that their broken family can be fixed like the end of the movie

      This is too true. The butt plug scene felt straight out of a Stephen Chow film, but not as good. Plus I thought the ending was too trite and conservative—who cares about a multiverse where you can do so much good, help so many people, when you have a <3 family.

        Anyways, i remember I'm in a movie group where they talk about the movie and there was no dissident allowed. One of the comment literally said:

        ''this is the only feel good movie we have in these difficult time''

        I think there is indeed a lot of personal bias shaping the movie
