In the movie, Xia Luo (portrayed by Shen Teng) is on his way to his high school crush's wedding. To hide from his raging wife, who barged in during the wedding, he ducks into the bathroom. When he comes out, he's back in high school. Even though it all turns out to be a dream and he never time traveled, everything he has in the dream represents what he subconsciously thinks he wants. Fame. Money. Success. A beautiful wife. But in reality, he doesn't even know what he wants. When he is poor, he wants riches. When he is rich, he wants his original (poor) life back. In real life, his mother is dead, so in his dream, she is alive. In real life, he is poor, so in the dream, he is rich, etc. But he eventually realizes that all the money and fame only make him even more miserable than he was before. His mother starts dating his friend, his wife cheats on him, etc. His "dream life" is beginning to shatter. The lesson of this movie was very valuable (be happy with what you have), but kind of chicken soup-y. However, overall, I would say it's a good parody on the "dream lives" of many of us.

Teng Shen is an undignified man who lives an unhappy life with his wife. He is given another shot at his life; after he blacks out, getting drunk at his old crush's wedding. He wakes up in his old classroom back in his high-school days. Yes he goes back in time! Not a sci-fi by any means, but a good romantic comedy. The film is a fun ride of quick humour and good music. The script is well written and the characters well enacted. I was into the film from first to last, not a second of boredom! A feel-good movie worth your time. It does offer a powerful hidden-morale but that's for you to find out.

Enjoy!!

Directors Da-Mo Peng and Fei Yan put China back on the comedy world map with work on "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

"Goodbye Mr. Loser" (aka "Xia Luo te fan nao") starts out in a very hilarious way. At a wedding, Xia Luo (played by Teng Shen) gets drunk and get the brilliant idea of singing a love song to his high school crush Qiuya (played by Zhi Wang), whom is getting married to someone else. This love song does not go well with Xia Lou's wife Ma Dong Mei (played by Li Ma). Xia Luo hides in the bathroom, but when he comes back out from hiding, he finds himself back in his glorious high school days. Has he been given a second chance to do things over, or is it a chance to relive his former prime? From there on the movie just keeps up its established hilarious atmosphere and keeps adding on to that. And writers and directors Da-Mo Peng and Fei Yan really deserve a big, big thumbs up on their accomplishment with "Goodbye Mr. Loser".

There are so many funny moments throughout the course of this movie, and I found myself laughing hard so many times. I was thoroughly enjoying myself throughout the course of this movie, and I really liked the storyline.
