The Skinny: Feng Xiaogang directed this satirical comedy which pokes fun at the intrusion of capitalism in modern Chinese society. The film itself is somewhat scattershot, and many of the gags will likely fly over the heads of some, but on the whole this is a delightful, intelligent alternative to most forms of Chinese comedy (like Wong Jing).
