Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star (1996)

Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star 1996 / 運財智叻星 1996 /

Named after lead actor Natalis Chan's popular TV game show. Most of the cast have also appeared as guests at the show. This film is silly and full of cameos and a typical Wong Jing flick of the 1990s. That said, I enjoyed this more than last year's big non-Wong Jing Lunar New Year flick, 72 Tenants of Prosperity (2010) which felt more like a long phone commercial than an actual film. Nat Chan is the Windfall God who goes to Earth to follow Angel of Nine Heaven. The now-mortal god is taken care of by feisty massage girl Anita Yuen. Anita is super cute and funny here and probably the best thing about this mess.
