" The performances are wildly over the top yet also wildly funny, a rare combination at the best of times; the direction is often one step away from TV, rarely leaving the sound stage or the comfort of close-ups and medium shots, but it has just the right level of energy and comic timing to work perfectly; the laugh-out-loud jokes are often silly and smutty, yet just as often slyly witty and inspired with an almost Swiftian sense of satire (generals are chosen by a brawl among the candidates to save time) aided by a surprisingly good English subtitle translation; and the story is increasingly outrageous on a truly exponential level yet still just about rooted in enough emotional truth about the fickle ironies of love to have enough underlying substance to stop it disappearing under the weight of its ever more frenetic plotting"
