Hap ga foon: Directed by Clifton Ko. With Michael Hui, Raymond Pak-Ming Wong, Olivia Cheng, Joey Wang. Mr. Coconut, who arrives in town from Hainan China where he lived with his coconuts. Here in the sophisticated urban jungles of Hong Kong. Mr. Coconut has finally reunited with his family, as he endures Hong Kong Streets of the late 1980s, filled with stock and property gamblers, heavy mobile phones and everything.

“Well, keeping in mind that u0026quot;Mr. Coconutu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Hap ga foonu0026quot;) is from 1989, then it is a movie that actually still can be watched today. Sure, it is not the best of comedy that the Hong Kong cinema has to offer, but it does have its charms here and there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline in u0026quot;Mr. Coconutu0026quot; was adequate. It offered enough entertainment to be watchable, but it just somehow failed to be outstanding. On that account, I will say that the storyline was mediocre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe characters in the storyline were interesting, and they were definitely very colorful and nicely detailed. And I will say that they did have a good ensemble of actors and actresses to portray the various roles and characters.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;Mr. Coconutu0026quot; was somewhat lacking in the comedy department, in order to be a movie that really appealed to me. Sure, there were some funny moments here and there throughout the movie, but it wasnu0026#39;t in a great abundance. So the laughs were sporadic for me. That was a shame, and it dragged the movie down into mediocrity for me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile I have now watched the 1989 movie u0026quot;Mr. Coconutu0026quot; from director Clifton Ko, I doubt that I will ever venture back to watch the movie a second time, as it just didnu0026#39;t have all that much contents to it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of u0026quot;Mr. Coconutu0026quot; is a mediocre five out of ten stars.”
