But it does have is a bunch of middle-aged actors and actresses pretending to be high school students. Yet is amazing that the film is funny enough to earn it belly laughs from beginning to end.
The movie, just the title indicates, is about a small fry named Xia Luo, who is merely loser. He's down and out with no job, and he lives with his wife in a crowded apartment .In a dream, Xia relives his life with everything he ever wanted. But at last he realizes that what he (true) misses is his ordinary life.
The movie is adapted a theater play of the same title produced by Mahua FunAge (開心麻花). The company set out (stage) its first amusing plays, known as “grassroots theater”, in 2003.Up to now, the group (produce)21 plays and built a considerable fan base.
The popularity of these plays and the recent hit, according to critics, reflects a trend of the public's increasingly mature and diverse taste in cinema. Previous (success) include A Hero or Not (《煎餅俠》）, (release) this summer by Dong Chengpeng, and Crazy Stone by Ning Tao.

The award recognizes local citizens for their tireless efforts to save wildlife, protect habitats and educate communities. Recipients were nominated(提名) by nonprofit environmental organizations, and each honoree receives an award of $l,50o from DWCF.

“Working with students in Tampa Bay is rewarding because I get to see firsthand the impact that our hard work has on the local habitat,” Gruber said. “I’m proud to say that Tampa Bay Watch’s Bay Grasses in Classes(BGIC) program has given me the opportunity to assist in restoring close to 300 acres with over 19,000 students. Being a Disney Conservation Hero is truly an honor and I am proud to share this achievement with the other Tampa Bay Watch staff members that have contributed to these efforts.”

Gruber has worked with Tampa Bay Watch since 2003, overseeing the Community Salt Marsh program and the BGIC program. She also has been in charge of many large-scale(大規(guī)模的)community plantings in her term. In her more than 11 years, Gruber has worked with more than 4,400 community volunteers to restore approximately 148 acres of marsh(濕地) habitat.

The BGIC program works with local middle and high schools to grow salt marsh grasses on their campuses and then involves them in the planting of their nursery raised grasses at a restoration site.

In her time, Gruber has led the BGIC program to contribute salt marsh grasses to help restore 91 acres of habitat around Tampa Bay. In addition to Martha’s impressive restoration impact, she also has a deep impact on everyone with whom she works.
