Since "People on the Road", "Thailand" and "Hong Kong", Xu Zheng's "囧 series" fourth "囧 mother" has also been officially launched, although it is in a different way, but also Brings a touch of joy to the Chinese people in a special period!
Same as the previous three "囧 films", Xu Zheng still plays a greasy man who seems to have achieved his career but is actually in a "mid-age crisis"-Xu Yiwan, who has divorced from his wife but is still with her. There are various entangled relationships in business, and because of the many differences in personality, hobbies and living habits, they have been unable to get along well for many years. However, by chance, the mother and son were closely linked, and they had to embark on the old green train bound for Moscow together, and embarked on a magical journey of stitching family love on the six-day and six-night journey! The
film seems to have two parallel narratives at the same time, but the line in New York has become a waste line since the cousin played by Guo Jingfei was arrested and sent back to the United States at the company. The character was originally based on "Hong Kong 囧" It was designed by Bauber, but it turned out to be extremely redundant. And the wife played by Yuan Quan just came out a few times, even if she gave "you have a fantasy wife in your heart, what she should like, what she hates, and how to talk, you have all set Why did you persevere in reforming me? It’s been so many years. Don’t you realize that I’m not the person you imagined.” Such a golden line (later copied and quoted by Xu Yiwan in front of her mother) Back), but on the whole, the character is more like a foil. Her existence is only to let Xu Yiwan untie a knot in his happiness, and then calmly face the future personal love life.
, and from the train conductor Jia Bing’s mouths of Spring Festival Gala sketches, to being forced to eat small tomatoes by the "囧 mother" obsessive-compulsive disorder, to all kinds of coincidence misunderstandings with a Mongolian couple next door, Xu Zheng did give us a lot of cheerful jokes on this "Russian" tour (even though some of the jokes seem a bit vulgar). Of course, this also includes the friendship between the two great Mesozoic laughters, Shen Teng and Huang Bo, who have experienced iconic faces in various comedy theater fusions over the past years, so that the audience will laugh out loud when they show up.
And as a relatively closed space, the train is also a good place to constantly create various conflicts. On the train, there are both passionate and passionate encounters with Russian girls in the dining car, as well as the adventure of flying feet outside the carriage, mother and son The disagreement between the two previous life philosophies eventually led to a concentrated explosion. But after the two left the train, the core of the film’s original comedy suddenly dissipated, whether it was the ferocious "bear infestation" in the forest, the mother and child on the glacier, or Song Xiaobao’s hot air balloon flying in the sky, The bridges that all seem to be pieced together seem very blunt. I finally came to the Red Star Theater in Moscow, and the real ultimate rescue was the 囧ma herself (Xu Zheng seemed a little superfluous here). The high-pitched and gorgeous "Red Berry Blossom" not only conquered the hearts of the audience who were preparing to leave. , Also let the film achieve a full range of emotional sublimation!
In general, "囧Mom" uses the shell of a road film adventure to realize the core of mother-child affection, but because the interaction with old "orthodox" women is far different from that of young and middle-aged funny men (such as Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, etc.) ) Came naturally and pleasantly, even if there are a lot of laughter and friendship to help out, it will inevitably make the film appear old-fashioned. If it were to be shown in theaters during the Spring Festival, it would be difficult to get a satisfactory result!
