“Dance Dance Dragon” which is pronounced similarly to “has everything” in Hokkien, tells the story of Mummy Loong (Lai Ming) who only wish is for her three problematic children to fulfil her hopes of being a grandmother. Her eldest daughter Lucy (Dennis Chew), who is 48 years old, has just been ditched by her first and only boyfriend. Her second daughter Ah Bee (Kym Ng) is too tomboyish and too fierce to attract members of the opposite sex. And her only son, Ah Long (Melvin Sia), although has been married for 10 years is too busy enjoying life to plan for parenthood. This all changes with the appearance of a cute baby in the Loong’s household which inadvertently turns everyone’s life upside down!
“Dance Dance Dragon”, a wholesome family comedy packed with hilarious twist and turns, and filmed entirely in Singapore from November 2011 at a cost of S$1.2 million, is produced by Mediacorp Raintree Pictures and Boku Films. It is dedicated to the year of dragon which falls next year and represents prosperty. The Dragon is a mystical creature and is revered by the Chinese all over the world, as the most auspicious of the twelve Chinese Zodiac characters.
The movie will be released in Singapore by Cathay-Keris Films on 19th January 2011, and in Malaysia on 15th March 2011 by Malaysian distributor RAM Entertainment. The late local release is to give Malaysians filmgoers an opportunity to celebrate the Chinese New Year once again, after a slew of festive movies that are expected to hit cinemas during Chinese New Year!
