"[Lost in Hong Kong] follows the same pattern as Lost in Thailand. There is too much music. Obviously they failed to create the right mood and tried to make up for it with music. A hodgepodge of the Guangdong dialect, Hong Kong-accented Putonghua (Standard Chinese) and Putonghua makes the film feel noisy. The comedy may stir some tears as well, but that is actually a problem. The film is way too sentimental and I felt exhausted by the time it was over," netizen MovieMonster posted on Sina Weibo.


"To be honest, as someone from Guangdong Province Wholesale Rams Shirts , I think the film is terrific. Because the Guangdong dialect, street scenes, actors and music filled me with memories, as if my life had been moved onto the big screen. The biggest difference between Lost in Hong Kong and the previous Lost film is that it is much more sentimental," one moviegoer, June Wholesale Rams Jerseys , commented on Sina Weibo.
