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."^[13] Luo Yingling rated the film two stars out of five, criticising the acting.^[14]
