REVIEW:
They haven’t made a real stunner yet, but TVB is now 2 for 2 in their bid for big-screen credibility. After earning box office with the summer hit Turning Point, Hong Kong’s reigning television monopoly delivers 72 Tenants of Prosperity, a quasi-sequel to the Shaw Brothers classic House of 72 Tenants. The film opens with newly-filmed sequences echoing situations seen in the 1973 original before flashing to the present to follow the next generation of local Hong Kongers as they fight and fume on Mongkok’s Sai Yeung Choi Street. Director Eric Tsang (and co-directors Chung Shu-Kai and Patrick Kong) manage genuine laughs and surprises in between maudlin sentiments and occasional awkward moments. Their ratio of good-to-bad is probably less than 3-to-1, but that’s still much better than TVB accomplishes on television. Success, like most things in life, is measured in relative terms.
