King of Comedy

Summary: not as usual for Stephen Chow movie....
Review: Not as funny as movies like 'Royal tramp', 'The God of cookery' or 'Shaolin Soccer', but in the end a good comedy. Stephen Chow is funny and sexy as always (and he is NOT getting old!) and Ng Man Tat does a great job too. They are one of the best 'couple' in the cinema industry (watch 'All for the winner' and '60 million dollar man'). I don't like the character acted by Karen Mok (too nasty for her, I think) but she is one of the best HK actress. A thumbs up for Ceclia Cheung. You can also enjoy a few seconds Jackie Chan's cameo.

As for a technic comment there's no doubt this is a well made movie, the picture is clear (no special effects).

Summary: Good for a quick laugh
Review: This movie stars Stephen Chiao as an out of work acting instructor who falls in love with a prostitute that can't pick up men. The prostitute comes to Chiao to learn how to act in front of men, but ends up falling in love with him instead. Basically, its a romantic comedy that will get you rolling at times, but is too slapstick-like to beleive. In my personal opinion, its a good movie overall. Chiao is hilarious and just watching him is reason enough to see this movie. However, don't expect it to be one of Chiao's best... he is getting old.
