From Stephen Chow, director of Kung Fu Hustle, comes The Mermaid: the comedic action-filled phenomenon that has become China’s biggest film of all time! When greedy real estate tycoon, Liu Xian (Deng Chao), buys up a pristine coastal enclave known as Green Gulf, he plans to turn it into the hottest property on the market. But Green Gulf harbors a secret: it’s home to the last surviving mermaids, and they are done playing nice. Their plan: send the beautiful Shan (Lin Yun) to seduce Liu and stop the destruction of their beloved oceans. But when their plan goes belly-up, neither humans nor mermaids are willing to back down, and a final, fatal frenzy becomes inevitable.

A lot of silly humor that really went over my head as it targeted a largely Chinese audience. However, from a critics perspective, the movie was engaging; with a fluid plot, a poignant message, with a great comic relief from the octopus to gloss over the whole movie. Not a bad finished product.

Simple to follow, easy to digest, not the most original or elegant, but just the right amount of familiar and weird. Overall a funny and playful movie with a great catchphrase. Plus that freaking classic 神雕侠侣 theme song cameo!!! Love.

Same Chow style. The octopus's part was both funny and heart-breaking. That's how good characters were shaped by Chow. I especially love the environmental protection idea this movie delivered. Most people are not interested in environmental protection documents, planting the theme in such movie is the greatest idea.
