Review
by Kozo: |
For
fans of Chow Yun-Fat, this popular New Year’s Comedy is a
definite change of pace from his usual two-gun theatrics.
Chow plays the uncouth headman of a rural HK village who possesses
a really laughable hairstyle. When his fiancée Firefly Kwok
(Carol Cheng) returns from studying in England, she’s become
a punk hipster much to Chow’s dismay. He loses her to the
big city (Hong Kong) after he blows a fuse over her radical
change. However, he soon decides to follow her in an effort
to win her back. In the process, he opens a new business,
finds a new girlfriend (Carina Lau), and generally becomes
a better man.
This romantic comedy from Alex Law
and Mabel Cheung is a surprisingly low-key effort that’s free
of the usual zany Hong Kong antics. What remains is a well-acted,
textured romantic comedy that leaves a lot unsaid. Chow is
in his usual top form, and Carol Cheng does a good job as
the hot-tempered Firefly. An entertaining and enjoyable little
film. (Kozo 1997) |
