Release

The film was released on September 20, 2012 in Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand. In an unusual distribution decision, some "women-only" exhibitions were scheduled in Hong Kong.[4]

Reception

Variety's Richard Kuipers called the film "a reasonably amusing 'American Pie'-like account of a randy Hong Kong teenager’s sexual awakening [that] . . . gradually becomes flaccid as its protag enters adulthood".[4] Derek Elley of Film Business Asia thought the film was better directed than Wu's previous efforts and "well-staged", with "lots of t&a, lots of harmless softcore sex, and lots of juvenile Cantonese comedy".[3]

gollark: So, thoughts on "how" the "inventory" thing should "work"?
gollark: > Botnet Developerum.
gollark: Hmm. Based on your psychological profile, you use Rust, which is good, and C, which is NOT good.
gollark: oops.
