Moon is a young misfit who has the ability to talk to bugs. Moon has always been perceived as a "misfit" because she spoke baby talk too long. She has a crush on a boy named Hyland who works in a store across the street from her house. Unknown to Moon, Hyland has a serious problem with body contact with other people. Moon also meets Coochie, an endearing ladybug who speaks to her and becomes part of her daily life, advising her. Moon meets a band of kids who also has abilities, including telekinetic twins, a high jumping teen, a fortune teller, a boy with x-ray vision that is a semi-pervert. Leading these misfits is a woman named Auntie who looks early to mid 20s but her actual age is 70. Auntie wants both Moon and Hyland to join her band of misfits because of Moon's abilities and Hyland's ability to dodge other people's attacks.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Actually, this movie is so bad. Why? Because the writer and the director have a lot of interesting idea but don't know how to arrange them to become a good "movie with plot", its trying to be a children movie but its totally not. So it just become a movie with a lot of wasted story. No character's development, no suspense, no twist, no everything. I call it a good bad movie because its just a simple movie. So it doesn't look so bad. Just kind of stupid. You know, a talking-bug, a girl who can talk with bug, a group of teenager with supernatural power, 70 years old lady who looks like 20 played by Gillian Chung, an untouchable man with his weird father who knows everything. A lot of "interesting" idea but just left unexplained. Totally messed up but it can be enjoyable if you stop your brain from thinking for a while.

This movie was a lot of fun. The actors were very high energy and the special effects were pretty convincing. At least some of the inspiration must have come from "A Bug's Life", but the animation was well blended in with the live action. This film seemed quite original in it's particular blend of teenage romance, comedy and action. One slight drawback was the subtitles. Although the subtitling was better than many of the flicks coming from the Long Shong Group, there were still several instances where the lines disappeared from the screen too quickly. Grammar and spelling also could have been improved in a few places. Another minor irritant were the credits at both the beginning and end, which were too small and seemed fuzzy.

I'm sure this film will get under rated. I wish it had come out when I was in my teens. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Giggly teen romance, slapstick comedy, just plain good humour, even people with super powers. Don't expect Superman or Ultra Man though. Even though I don't understand Cantonese, it has subtitles that do not get in the way. It is a lot like a Disney movie, just plain enjoyable to watch regardless of your age or gender. I was surprised to find that the main star is a canto pop star also. Isabella Leung. I'll have to look into that. The translation does leave a bit to be desired whenever they are talking about romance. I may be wrong, but I am sure given the context of the moment they had meant to say "Moon is in love", but the translation was "She is in heat". Totally different meaning in English and I have no idea what the meaning is in Cantonese

Moderately entertaining if increasingly juvenile family film about a gang of misfit teens with "ultra powers" (minor stuff – one sees thru things, one jumps real high, one can sometimes tell the future - but each with a physical drawback that manifests itself when they use those powers) who join up with a teenage girl who speaks with bugs. The film features plenty of CGI effectswork to bring the insects (initially a cute beetle whom the bug-speaking girl befriends, voiced by Jan Lamb; eventually a whole army of insects who threaten war upon humanity) to life, The actress who plays that girl (Isabella Leong) is very expressive and very pretty; but guy who plays her beau is pretty dull. "Twins" Charlene Choi and Gillian Chung (THE TWINS EFFECT, HOUSE OF FURY, etc) appear in small roles as well. The storyline exists simply to carry forward the film's entertainment - which includes a couple of interludes where the characters (and the bugs) suddenly break into song - and the film never does anything more with the concept beyond its simplistic framework.The film will probably be considered pretty inane for American audiences, it's style and sense of humor is far less sophisticated but does carry a charm of its own.
