Description /Synopsis:
Four friends come up with an unusual idea to make some money and have fun doing it. For a small fee, they will impersonate and act out any character role for their customers. In the course of executing this novel service, they encounter a whole spectrum of people in society, finding ways to genuinely help them boost their morale and overcome their fears, while gaining unusual and new insights into the human condition.
Review:
Too bad the critics who seem to act as gatekeepers for Chinese movies haven't approved this. Maybe because it's a comedy. The story is somewhat similar to Mi Jiashan's Wan zhu (1988), and even shares a star (Ge You) with that movie, but it's also much better done.
