幸福万岁

Good enough for some laughs here and there. The story is typical and doesn't excite. The movie was slightly more than 2 hrs, though towards the end, it seems it ran out of ideas.

Seng and Kelly married, has a son Benny, their god brother Jeremy lived with them.

As the guys tries to seek, experience, live their journey in love, the movie put jokes, funny one liner and innuendos around the story.

Seng wanted to re-energies his married life with Kelly, as they became less communicative over time, argue over small matters. His plot to "do that thing" with Kelly did succeed, though Kelly was not receptive initially. But he found out, he have problem doing that thing, blaming Kelly not able to arouse him.

It became worse. Kelly went on a nights out with her friends, ended up with Mark Lee, as Xiao Han, a male "duck". Though, she didn't do anything. Seng was even more screwed, as he got conned by a girl and her gang. They blackmailed him $100,000 RM if not reporting him to police, having sex with underage girl.

The son was no better, conned by Jennifer, the girl he loved. Got filmed dancing naked and video uploaded onto the internet. He got his revenge when he chanced upon the video of her making out with her bf. Jennifer tried to commit sucide, but Benny seems to talk her off that, but accidentally fell off ... onto something which saved her life.

Jeremy was somehow better, getting all the luck with his stint outside, getting almost every girl he wanted. Till he met Benny's teacher, MeiShi, it went well till the last part of the movie, where he met another girl from internet at a cafe, became unconscious shortly. Then he woke up, tied up, showing an ah ma wanting to castrate him off. Then it seems that the ah ma was Mei Shi mother and the girl was her sis. Not sure what is this scene for ... doesn't seem to gel with the story.

Anyway, just for the laughs. 6/10
