My Lucky Stars (1985)

This... has its moments...

PROS:
+ Pretty much everything that made Winners & Sinners good is present here, just in MUCH smaller amounts
+ There is actually more action present [if you can make it past the first half]
+ A couple of the comedic elements are actually quite funny

CONS:
- The overall pacing is EXTREMELY slow for this kind of movie
- There are also many issues with the plot as it is boring and confusing a lot of the time
- At least one of the jokes is uncomfortable to be seen around family members [dealing with r***]
- Ironically, even though most of the cast is the same, the new characters are less likeable (even Jackie)

I actually wanted to fast forward through most of this movie... I enjoyed parts of it, but I can't wholly recommend this.

The payoff for all of the boredom was mediocre at best.

6.5/10
