Summary: From a Guys Perspective
Review: Don't let the title fool you guys. In my opinion it is Chow's most under rated movie of all time. The only thing with this movie is that it helps to know the chinese culture and ideas to understand some of the humor (yeah you gwai-los). I mean the opening scene is just hilarious, but would the U.S. come up an idea like that? I mean I guess it would be a little bit of a culture shock.

I must inform you guys it is a chick flick, but the comedy factor in this movie will please both sexes. Like someone previously said "it is a good date movie" or just a middle of the week evening movie. That is only if you're both into that sort of thing.

I am not saying everyone will like this entire movie, but the guys should like the first half of the movie and the women should like the whole thing. I mean Chow acting the way that he does in this movie is uncanny. It is not your typical Chow role of either the handsome, sophisticated guy that the girl always falls for or the gun blazing Chow. You must see the movie to understand.

So don't rush to see it, but for sure one everyone should watch if you're into the Hong Kong movies.

Review: Movie was good in the beginning for a used DVD even if purchase as new. Halfway into movie, picture kept on freezing. My opinion don't buy any DVD unless in English.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of CYF's greatest roles that's underrated!!!
Review: Ok, so this isn't "My Fair Lady" however it is definitely very similar. Chow Yun-fat is awesome as Locomotive Fat/Nelson Chow and Anita Mui is awesome as his trainer Anita. While most people aren't used to Chow Yun-fat as a comedian, they're really missing out here. By the way, this is the longest comedy ever made by Chow Yun-fat himself, nearly 2 hours long!!! I highly recommend this movie on a rainy night or while on a romantic date!!!
