Chu Yen-Ping strikes again!
AaronKenMcGuire14 September 2013
If you expect this movie to have a story, you will be disappointed, but if you know who the director Chu Yen-Ping is, you wouldn't have expected there to be a story in the first place. "Funny Family" is quite entertaining, none the less.

The story is non-existent and the plot is ludicrous. With that said, the fight sequences are terrific, the acting, though isn't fantastic, is decent for a comedy, and the characters are at the very least entertaining which I think is enough to make this movie watchable. If you think that you might watch this movie now because of what I said, just realize that the movie has a scene of kung-fu bowling, cultural jokes that would be esoteric to Western audiences, and an annoying yet catchy theme song.

This movie is almost undefinable. If you do decide to watch this movie, just realize that this is the kind of movie where you have to turn your brain off as you watch it. If you do so, you might actually enjoy it. Just don't expect art.
