Review
by Kozo: |
This cheap exploitation
comedy lampoons the hot-button topic of Viagra (which
sounds like Wai-Go in Cantonese). A trio of stories
tells of the experiences men have with the new wonder
drug. Anthony Wong is the Number One porn star in HK,
who can’t get it up except for his dowdy wife (Yuen
King-Tan). He's saddled with a love scene with buxom
Karen Yeung Ka-Ling, but he needs help. Eric Tsang is
a obscene caller who’s obsessed with a hot widow (Angie
Cheung). Finally, Spencer Lam is an old coot who takes
some Viagra out of curiosity and nearly fools around
with the hot upstairs neighbor (Pinky Cheung).
This is a funny but low-brow
flick with some clever moments that occasionally recall
Woody Allen (i.e., talking sperm). Still, this is an
Aman Cheung film we’re talking about. Cheung is fast
becoming HK’s top exploitation director, though he’ll
never be the top if he continues working in the shadow
of supreme exploitation god Wong Jing. This is an amusing
movie, but it ain’t a showstopper. (Kozo 1998) |
