Once they're at the station, however, King admits to selling him a pup: it's not a six-day job, it's six hard weeks.

除去强奸犯潇洒多年的弱智戏，作为春节档一号剧还行。长辈看了忆苦思甜，小辈看了积极向前，阵痛完了吃盘饺子，tomorrow is another day。虽然是在东北拍摄，但外置景不咋地。和原著比，叠加删减各有好坏。原本周家父母间隔去世，而剧版安排在同一日夜内，节约经费篇幅，又增加戏剧效果，绝对是本剧高光时刻。年代戏，远了好讲，近了不好说。虽然从消失的九十年代以后就没意思了，但总是看到了进步，另外感谢导演把作者的老年色情文学删了，那真是比松花蛋长绿毛看着还闹心。
