What happens

Magic to Win (Chinese: 開心魔法, meaning "Happy Magic") is a 2011 Hong Kong film directed by Wilson Yip. The film stars Wu Chun, Karena Ng, Raymond Wong, Wu Jing and Louis Koo. While promoted as being a return to the Happy Ghost film series which 1984 to 1991, film critic Derek Elley found the film generally unrelated to the film outside of its school setting and fantasy elements. He gave the film a negative review finding Wilson Yip's direction lazy and the story episodic. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
