Basically, it is a typical HK style comedy. I just went there and laughed from the beginning until the end. Somehow, I felt like I was forced to laugh for certain parts. I am not sure whether the term "forced" is used correctly here. If you watched HK movies since young, you will know that which part of the movie is funny and which is not. Example: when an actor falls from somewhere high, with a hand stretches straight to a side and the other hand holds up like saying HI, a leg stretches 45 degree just like this:
and you will know that he is trying to be funny. And this is the HK comedy trend which I think when we laugh at these scenes, it is kinda like "forced".
Once the HK famous comedy director, Wang Jing said:
We always have to think of new joke to make audiences laugh. Audiences always want something fresh. To make audiences laugh is harder than making them cry. To make audience sad, we can make the main character's relative die one by one. However, to make the audience laugh, you cant make the funny thing twice.
What he said is quite true, if repeating the joke twice, it will be irritating. So, never say HK comedy is silly or meaningless. It is not easy to inventing new jokes all the time.
Back to the movie, one thing that caught most of my attention is phobia in making decision. I am not sure is there any shopaholics around me, but many friends and colleagues have the problem when making decision. I never realised that it is a kind of sickness. 'x' We (pls note that I said WE, yes including myself) always have a hard time when making decision where to have lunch. When I first joined the company, I was always puzzled to find that my colleagues used to group together and waiting for each other to suggest which kopitiam to go. Sometimes, I found myself indecisive when come to the part ordering food from menu too. When this happens, I will be quite panic and ask my bf to do the order work for me. LOL.

"we go here !?!?? REALLY really go here?!?!?
ok!!! we go here.."
they wont have time to change their minds...WAHAHAHA
Hmmm...I think the reason why it is difficult for a person to make decision for a group is that he/she may need to bear the responsibility or get blame on if the outcome is disappointing. In other words, 'Ya Li Da!'
Well, as a member of the group, if we don't have any better ideas, and rely on someone else to make the decision, we will have to accept the outcome no matter what. Take it as an opportunity to explore, bad or good ^.*
