Film Reviews

Positive Reviews

Love Apartment" still continues the light-hearted and humorous style of the drama version, bringing a lot of laughter to the audience. At the beginning of the film, when Zeng Xiaoxian's laughter and the unique background music of "Love Apartment" started, the audience was instantly brought into the rhythm of the TV version of "Love Apartment". In the film, the characters' personalities are still distinct, Hu Yifei's "pugnacity", Zeng Xiaoxian's "cheapness", Zhang Wei's "stupidity", and Mika's "meng". The characters' personalities are still distinct, Hu Yifei's "Biao", Zeng Xiaoxian's "cheap", Zhang Wei's "silly" and Meijia's "Meng". (Reviewed by China Press, Publication, Radio and Television News)[15]

The film is more like a potpourri of "Love Apartments" + "Tomb Raider" + "100,000 Jokes", but the film is still full of laughs and jokes. As a comedy film, the overall feeling of the movie version of "Love Apartment" is similar to the drama version, with a variety of intellectual anxiety and a lot of laughs, a group of people in the movie with WeChat red packets to test the life and death of Zeng Xiaoxian bridge is very funny. (Changjiang Daily Review)[16]

Negative Evaluation

The combination of the film and "Notes on a Tomb Raider" makes the whole film show a split and chaotic structure, with metaphysical elements, artificial intelligence messing up, and love talks while raiding tombs, making it a hybrid of tomb raiding unlike tomb raiding and love unlike love. The film is a mixture of tomb raiding and romance, with outdated Internet vocabulary such as "fuck the plane" and "666", plus the soundtrack, which is very similar to the Hollywood blockbuster Pacific Rim, and all the familiar jokes. The film is a great success. (First Financial Review)[17]

Film Controversy

On August 6, 2018, the drama side of "Love Apartments" issued a statement saying that the movie version of the same name was produced without authorization and a lawsuit had been filed. On August 7, the show's director responded that the movie version was copyrighted and had obtained prior legal authorization and permission, and on August 7, the show's director responded again that the movie version was not a hype for the movie, which heated up the "infringement" issue again.[18]
