I’m not entirely sure what this one’s about, folks, but that hasn’t stopped me from watching the embedded trailer a couple of times tonight. It’s a little jarring and a touch annoying, but that, I think, is what makes this film so alluring. Although a proper synopsis detailing a few plot points would be nice to have, all you really need to know about the flick resides in its title. There is, in fact, a dinner party taking place, and crazy things are happening at a mad rapid pace. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. But don’t waste your time over-thinking it. Director Shang Jing’s “Crazy Dinner Party”, which stars Fan Wei, Huang Bo, Monica Mok, Liu Hua, and Liang Guanhua, opens in China on January 23rd, 2012. When will the rest of us get to partake in said festivity? That remains to be seen
After an eighty episode run on mainland Chinese television, Shang Jing's popular kung fu comedy makes the jump to the big screen with this feature version.
Wang es un hombre pesimista, astuto y avaricioso, dueño de un bar de tallarines en una ciudad situada en un paraje desértico de China. No hace caso de su esposa, una mujer de lengua viperina que tiene una aventura amorosa con Li, uno de los empleados de Wang. Li es un hombre tímido que, muy a pesar suyo, acaba guardando la pistola que su amante ha comprado para matar a su marido. Pero Wang está al tanto de todo lo que hacen. Soborna al agente de policía Zhang para matar a la pareja. Visto así, el plan es perfecto: todo se solucionará gracias a un final sangriento y cruel perfectamente satisfactorio para él. O al menos, eso piensa. Pero el malévolo Zhang tiene otra idea en la cabeza... Remake libre de "Sangre fácil" (Blood Simple), opera prima de los hermanos Coen.
