Jackie Chan Never Disappoints!

A little bit of back story about why I watched this.

My fam called me to ask whether I want to watch Jackie Chan’s movie in theatre. Thinking it was action movie, I said yes. But then after the ticket was bought, I read the synopsis and learned that the film’s genre is not action, but more towards family drama.
I was actually reluctant to watch this as I am not in the mood for crying.

But after watching it, I don’t regret it. This film feels close to my heart. As a child with parents whose age are over 60, this film makes me realize, how short our time with our parents is. As we get older, we get busier with jobs and our own side hustle. But we sometimes forget that our parents are getting older too. We need to keep making memories with our loved ones. Lesson learned🫶

About the casts:
Jackie Chan always delivers! His acting as someone with dementia brought tears to my eye.
I saw a familiar face, Lin Bei Xing! She is here!
The ML he acted well that I want to watch his other dramas.

Overall, a must watch if you like a family genre, and even better if you watch with your family🫶
