| A little slow but quite an affecting romantic comedy starring Anita Yuen, Leslie Cheung and Carina Lau. Yuen plays Wing that goes to a singing audition dressed as a boy and surprisingly gets a shot at the big time. Living with producer Sam (Cheung) she falls for him and he is drawn to, what he thinks is, the boy. In the middle then is Sam's singer girlfriend (Lau). Anita pulls off the transformation to boy quite convincingly and Peter Chan explores the themes of homosexuality and idol worshipping without resorting to cheap gags or being distasteful. The cast gel with each other and Jordan Chan in particular has a likable supporting part. Same cast turned up for the sequel Who's The Woman, Who's The Man in 1996 but that failed to capture the spirit of the first. |
