Oh, it seems like there's either an adaptation of Marry My Dead Body, or its source material (if it is, itself, an adaptation).

 The main, and big difference, seems to be he's not a cop?

Also, the trailer implies the potential for attraction between the leads in TRE, whereas no such scene is in MMDB, and I can't tell if it's effectively a buddy movie or not.

#MarryMyDeadBody #關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事

E o primeiro premio da noite para #MarryMyDeadBody (se non levou algún máis en canto eu lavaba a louza! 😅), o filme que representa Taiwán nos Óscares deste ano: mellor guión adaptado.

So here's another film recommendation that almost certainly nobody is interested in, but hey.

關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事 (Marry my dead body) is a Taiwanese supernatural comedy, which plays on the Chinese concept of ghost marriage, ending up with a young homophobic policeman getting ghost-married to a recently deceased (killed in a hit and run) gay guy.

It's very funny and also a reminder of how far ahead Taiwan is in all LGBTQ+ matters to the rest of the world (and especially Asia).

Sometimes it's a good idea to watch a movie spontaneously. In case of #MarryMyDeadBody (available on #Netflix), it definitely was. https://boxd.it/4JUPlX
A ★★★★★ review of Marry My Dead Body (2022)

Once one accepts the slightly strange basic story, it's a very cute movie with well-balanced doses of crime, action, comedy and even some romance. Austin Lin sometimes reminds of Joe Locke (Netflix/"Heartstopper"), which is probably not a coincidence. Sometimes it's a bit too much drama, but it's okay and fits into the movie. Definitely a movie to watch again sooner or later.

If you are looking for a lighthearted supernatural suspense to binge watch on your weekend, then #MarryMyDeadBody should be high on your watchlist...Read our Movie Review for more 🤗❤

意义非凡。
#鬼家人 狂卷3亿票房、在香港/韩国等地上映,意义不亚于《#爱你西蒙》——#GTM 真正从细分市场走出、同性主题被观影大众接受,这本身就是台湾的胜利。
影片的核心是人与人的连结(again,又有什么作品不是呢),毛毛作为同志族群与#许光汉 所代表的顺直男群体跨越差异达成理解并建立友谊;以及同志族群面对的亲子关系的和解。影片中作为映衬的是#王净 的角色,她展示了没有被理解和接纳的if线(她的故事将在剧集《#正港分局》补完)

影片本身的剧作结构有明显瑕疵,这个故事的体量更应当在100min而非现在的130min;正如我们批评《#绿皮书》中的黑人角色又落入#黑人教父 的刻板印象一样,《鬼家人》的毛毛也落入了#FairyGodfather 的窠臼。但越过这些缺陷,我们更应当看到和拥护的,是影片如何巧妙糅合传统(冥婚)与现代(同婚)议题,达成了与广大观众的强烈共情,这是只有#台湾 才能拍出的作品。
