YMMV / Over the Moon

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Chang'e and Chin's ping-pong match. It does nothing to advance the plot or reveal anything about Chang'e's or Chin's characters and it's not mentioned again after it happens. It's just there to give Chang'e another song.
  • Funny Moments: When Chin meets Fei Fei for the first time, he tells her he's got a superpower. When she suggests that his power is being Super Annoying he gets excited and decides that he's got two superpowers.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight: Although it's under less than stellar circumstances, Chang'e and Chin's ping-pong match takes on a tinge of heartwarming when one realizes she's matching wits with her husband's descendant.
  • Informed Wrongness: Fei Fei does learn that she needs to let go of her grief, accept that things inevitably change and learn to love her new family...but the reason she isn't ready to accept that her father wants to move on from her late mother is because literally the first time she ever meets Ms. Zhong and Chin, they're being introduced as her new future stepmother and stepbrother. Any child would be upset and resentful in that situation, and unwilling to grow closer.
  • Narm: The "Mooncakes" song continues even as the audience sees Fei Fei's mother becoming very ill and eventually dying. In particular, watching Ma Ma almost fainting in the kitchen, and the first thing her husband says being "There is magic in these mooncakes..." comes off as laughably out-of-place.
  • Questionable Casting: For a Chinese-centered film, set in China, that tends to bring up China a lot, and is even based on a Chinese fairy tale, at least half of the cast is made up of Korean actors. This can't even be forgiven for having a small acting pool since the voice actors worked remotely.
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation and special effects are colorful, vibrant, and really make the film pop. It is especially shown during Chang'e's pop song.
