This is the fifth and last installment of the Happy Ghost series and it bears little resemblance to the others. It doesn't take place in a school, it has all new characters and a new storyline. In this one, Raymond Wong is a human being who was a dog named Magic. Magic is owned by Kathy, the pretty Kris Aquino. Kathy goes to the U.S. for a week, leaving Magic in the care of her boyfriend Jack, who neglects Magic. Magic wanders to a temple, encounters the Happy Ghost and becomes human for three months. He re-meets Kathy and things happen, except she, of course, does not know the human Magic is really her dog. This film isn't bad, it has sweet moments and except for a few violent scenes wouldn't be a bad kid's film. It is a testament to Mr. Wong that he could make five good films based on one subject. This is probably the weakest of the five films because it has the least character development, but its okay. Watch all five, they're fun.
