The newest comedy from Chinese directors Wei Nan and Wei Ming, Oh My God, opened across the nation on Friday. The movie starring Chen Xuedong, Jiang Wen and Li Xiaolu marks writer-turned-executive director Guo Jingming's first try at comedy. 

The story centers around a cute baby who suddenly intrudes into the happy lives of two young couples. Arriving after a meteor is spotted in the sky, the baby bears a resemblance to all four of the main characters. Intrigued, they start looking for answers into the baby's origins only to discover the youngster has special powers. 

At a press conference held at the red carpet premiere of the movie on Monday, Chen Xuedong told media that he plays an orphan who only trusts his best friend.

"Needing to take care of a little baby touches on his own experiences growing up," he said. "After we finished shooting, I discovered that this is not just a simple comedy. For me, it's a story about growing up."

Actress Jiang Wen also emphasized the film was about family and responsibility.

Oh My God has earned quite a good reputation as a family-friendly movie during multiple pre-screenings leading up to the premiere.
