Money no enough 2



Ok, this time I'm going to post a review about this movie that was said to be one of the best movie made by Jack neo. I want to say something, this movie suck ass and because of one very simple reason, the title. I'll start with the summary of the plot.

There are 3 brothers from different life background. The elder brother, hui, is a low wage worker who everyday works hard just to survive. The second elder brother, qiang, from a rich background and the younger brother, huang, a middle wage boss. All 3 of them strive hard to get as rich as possible, hui eventually joint huang selling some healthy pills with the financial help from their mother. It was a success at first, but later on the pills was tested out to be poison. Qiang on the other hand, faces a problem that the lawyer ran away with their money and cause his to get into serious debt problem. Their mother of course help them out financially, as much as possible. But it is time for her to gone senile. When they finally coped with their debts, now they have to take care of their mother, taking turns. Although they are the sons, but they failed to take good care of her. Soon, they decide to take her to the homes, but the mother collapsed due to sickness. They stayed at the hospital, with the rising of hospital fee, they found trouble with coping it. At one time, qiang's wife and daughter was rushing to get to the location of performance during the 7th month, but they met an car accient and then her daughter was sent to the same hospital. The hospital lack of O- blood for the daughter, as the blood was being sent to the mother for operation. At this crossroad, everyone was crying and arguing for the blood. The mother, sacrificing herself, plug out the oxygen pipe without any one knowing, resulting to her death and the blood was being used to save qiang's daughter. At the end of the movie, the 3 brothers invest in a healthy product again and gain great success...

Ok, this movie, got one very big problem that all movies shouldn't make. THERE ARE TOO MANY CG SCENES!!! I mean, what the hell, this is not a fantasy movie or anything like that, this is a movie reflecting real life problem, which means must be realistic. What do I see here? CG animation here and there, spamming it like hell is going to break lose. If it is about throwing the EPR into the sea, I got no problem about it, but the entire show was filled by CGI. Let me name out a few, the car crashing scene where the daughter flew out, the talisman burning(which paper burns and no smoke, ashes were produced?) etc. I mean, which is there so many 3D animation being involved? There is not need for it, no fucking need for it!!!

*sigh, oh, why the movie sucks mainly because of the title? Let me explain. The movie title, "money no enough 2", should focus on striving/surviving in the money needed world. Take a look at the prequel, "money no enough". Everything was about money and people handling with it. This sequel on the other hand, is more like motherly love. The mother plays such a big role in the movie, not to mention like the later half of the movie. Everything was about how noble mother is or something. The money problem was solved pretty much the first hour of the movie and the later half changed the theme totally. THIS IS FUCKING STUPID!!! I mean, jack was a good director, I give you that, but the theme totally went off after the money problem was being solved, what the fuck!? I'll rate this movie...half star/5. Why half? Well, even the joke inside were pretty old and sometime is just corny,
