Review
by Kozo: |
This forgotten Hong Kong comedy is about two old classmates
(Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) who happen upon each other
later in their lives. Tony is a successful insurance salesman
who’s contracted a “bubble” on his brain. The skinny: he could
die at any time. Andy is a smooth but unlucky triad fellow.
Because of their individual problems, they switch places:
Andy tries to learn the insurance trade and be successful
for a change and Tony tries live out his death sentence by
navigating his way on HK’s streets. As usual, this allows
for all sorts of fish-out-of-water gags. Romance arrives in
the form of Mrs. Mui (Teresa Mo), Andy’s immediate superior
and Fennie (Fennie Yuen), a triad boss’ daughter who Tony
somehow charms. An unspecial exercise, this flick is rather
harmless and succeeds at being entertaining once in a while.
The performances are average, too. This is Andy Lau in annoying/smarmy
mode, but Tony Leung is likable and Fennie Yuen is appealing.
Useless and average. (Kozo 1997) |
