A new efficient comedy for the quatuor Ching Wan / Louis / Hing-Ka / Patrick

After a very efficient if not revolutionary "The Bra", and a more disappointing "Mighty Baby", the team composed of two directors (Patrick Leung / Chan Hin-Kar) and two males stars (Lau Ching-Wan / Louis Koo) is back with a third comedy, talking this time about the new trendy topic in HK: sex. The recette is the same as before: a new topic, some female stars to complete the cast (here Sammi Cheng and Charlene Choi), some romance, some funny gags but never too crazy or silly. The result is certainly not original or surprising, and even if some may be tired to see some many comedies like that in Hong-Kong, there are still enough funny scenes to enjoy it.

Two scenes should draw your attention here: the one where Louis Koo got shot in the... well, you know, and the one where Lau Ching-Wan shows Louis some exercises to gain back his manhood. Both are really hilarious, the first one thanks to metaphores used to explain the "problem", and the second because it's just too silly. The use of Lau Ching-Wan as a womanizer while the handsome Louis Koo plays an impotent guy is surely a good idea, especially with the skills of Ching-Wan to play the comedy.

Of course, the romance part is very conventionnal, Charlene and Sammi are never up to Ching-Wan's talent, Patrick Leung would have preferred to direct a drama or something more serious. But at least, there are some very good laughs in there, and the rest of the movie isn't too boring to follow.
