JACK NEO RETURNS CNY 2018 WITH 'WONDERFUL LIANG XI MEI'

The Lunar New Year season has traditionally been a bountiful one at the box office for Jack Neo - and this year, the actor-writer-producer-director is bringing one of his most beloved TV characters to the big screen!

In this first big-screen adventure, Liang Xi Mei has retired and spends her time looking after her two obedient grandsons. However, Liang Xi Mei still leads a colorful life thanks to her absent-minded BFF Guang Dong Po (Wang Lei), who frequently muddles things up, leaving Liang Xi Mei to resolve the mess; and Lion King (Henry Thia) who is now diagnosed with mild Alzheimer’s, causing confusion and frustrations for everyone.

Robert (Mark Lee), Liang Xi Mei’s eldest son also adds to her woes. Robert is a dreamer who often schemes to get rich quick. This causes Liang Xi Mei to find him unreliable and puts all her hopes on her youngest son Albert (Benjamin Josiah Tan). Her favoritism stirs up jealousy within Robert, who vows to strike it rich to win back Liang Xi Mei’s approval.

Here's the teaser trailer for WONDERFUL! LIANG XIMEI which sneaks 14 Feb and opens in cinemas 15 Feb:
