Finally saw this. DM's critique is spot on; not much I can add.
There is one scene where the male lead goes into a police station to report his escape from mermaids, wanting them to do something about it. It simply does not fit the movie. He's a billionaire, after all, with a minon army at his beck and call. He would never have gone to the police. However, those five minutes in the police station are perhaps the funniest in the movie, and Stephen Chow made the right call including it in the final cut.
Sometimes the magic just isn't there. I'm hoping this was just a misfire for Chow.
