A Chinese film about a soon-to-be-divorced father who enlists his friends in a series of schemes to provide his daughter with a piano.
There were some nicely played scenes between the characters but the overriding problem was that there was too little story to sustain its 2 hour running time. The last 20 minutes in particular were a mess -- while the necessary (and some unnecessary) plot points were addressed, the editing was so messy that it felt at times like the reels were out of order.
Could easily have lost a half hour without losing anything critical.
