Goodbye Mr Loser - Drunk Monk - 10-15-2017
This is a sleeper PRC indie rom com that I watched for my film column. Came out of nowhere and stole the chicoms' hearts and I get why. It's a parody of Chinese rom come that inevitably becomes a good rom com, so it's meta in that way that china adores. Almost intolerably sentimental, with that deeply imbued worship of self sacrifice, it's a spin on Its a Wonderful Life (Chinese netizens accused it of plagiarizing Peggy Sue got married, but from what little I remember of that film, I wouldn't've said so). There's one lackluster fight scene and an absurd nunchuck song. I was fascinated with its borderline Mo Lei Tuo humor, and it's sappiness while mocking sappiness. It was illuminating regarding Chinese filmgoers so I wasn't bored, but I don't recommended at all.

Well, crap. I had that queued up for tonight. Now, what am I going to watch.
Oh, wait. Sportsball is on.

See God of War. That's more DOOMesque. Or the Villainness. I know a website that is giving DVDs of these away free. You just have to enter (not CF - company peeps are dqed).
Here's a trailer to fill in the gaps you didn't know you had:
