Aroview: Popular Canto-pop duo ‘The Boy’z’ star in this absurdist gangster tale, playing high school slackers ‘Bowl’ and ‘Noodle’ who become embroiled in an escalating triad shakedown.

Tipsy star vehicle is standard Hong Kong action-comedy fare, sporting obligatory cameos (The Twins) and a corny-surrealist trajectory, though does occasionally hit the spot with some Stephen Chow-inspired moments.
