| Raising eyebrows by casting Hong Kong cinema cop Danny Lee as Piggy (known as Stanley as well), the son of a pig farmer father (Ku Feng), his adventures in the city working for a, believe it or not, parking service is still a rather uneventful 90 minutes. There are good-hearted notions of Piggy spreading warmth and courage wherever he goes, in particular when pushing friend Parkman (yes, played by Parkman Wong) who's head over heels in love with frequent parker Stella (Woo Mei-Yee). When a bunch of false US dollars lands in Piggy's lap, it's his irrational behaviour, him forgetting he is of lower class that gets put to the test but some rather evil shenanigans towards the end culminates in a "I learned something today..."-speech that further diminishes the chance of Angela Mak's movie to matter. You can't say Mak has created an offensive product however. Peter Yang, Stuart Ong and Shing Fui-On also appear. |
