Based on one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature of the same name, Stephen Chow's "Journey To The West" is a contemporary remake of the misadventures of a Buddhist monk as he makes a pilgrimage from China to India.
Young demon hunter Xuan Zang, fearlessly guided by his belief in "giving himself for the greater cause", risks everything and conquers a water demon, a pig demon and the demon of all demons, Sun Wukong. He embraces them as his disciples, and melts them with love. Meanwhile, Xuan Zang discovers the true meaning of Greater Love himself. In order to atone for their own sins and save the common people, the four of them embark on a journey to the West that's full of challenges.
A glorious return to form after the slightly underwhelming CJ7 (2008) and his first ever directorial effort in which he doesn't also play the lead role, Stephen Chow's "Journey To The West: Conquering The Demons" is a thoroughly entertaining action comedy that suggests, a la Woody Allen, a promising new life behind the screen for the actor-director, who found an eager international audience with 2001's "Shaolin Soccer" and 2004's "Kung Fu Hustle" after having established himself as Hong Kong's most iconic comedian since the early 1990s.
