Double Happiness brings the laughs for the New Year, opening across Malaysia on Lunar New Year’s Day

(Kuala Lumpur, 10th) Lunar New Year romantic comedy Double Happiness (Shuang Xi) is joining the 2026 festive lineup, with early screenings from February 13 at selected cinemas, followed by a nationwide Malaysia release on February 17 (the first day of Chinese New Year). The film aims to deliver a “New Year + Valentine’s” double celebration filled with laughs and romance.

Often described as a modern, youth-friendly take on All’s Well, Ends Well, the movie uses down-to-earth Taiwanese-style humor to explore marriage, family dynamics, and generational clashes. Fast-paced comedic set pieces and familiar wedding chaos keep the jokes coming without relying on tired clichés.

The film stars two-time Golden Horse winner Liu Kuan-ting alongside Hong Kong Best Actress winner Jennifer Yu Heung-ying as newlyweds forced to hold two separate weddings in a single day—because the groom’s divorced parents refuse to attend the same ceremony. Featuring a strong supporting cast including Yang Kuei-mei, Tin Kai-man, Tuo Tsung-hua, 9m88, and Tsai Fan-hsi, the story turns a “happiest day” into a hilarious endurance test—while gradually revealing the unspoken emotions within the family.
