The film is a light-hearted romantic comedy, offering a humorous look at the Hong Kong popular music industry, with its flash-in-the-pan stars and crazed teeny-bopper fans. There's nothing very original here, but the engaging junk-food type plot, as well as the confusion and sexual hi-jinks that follow the gender mix-up provides some good-natured fun. In fact, He's a Woman, She's a Man could be called a Canto-Pop remake of Victor/Victoria, with some HK sensibilities. Some good tunes help the film along, and hearing "That's Amore" sung in Cantonese is particularly catching!

This movie won all sorts of HK movie awards for good reason. It is simply a delightful and sophisticated tale of sexual and emotional confusion.

Anita Yuen disguises herself as a man so that she can try out for a singing gig with music producer Leslie Cheung and thus be close to her idol, the singer Carina Lau. Even though she can't sing a lick, she/he gets the job because Leslie wants to prove that he can make a success of anyone.

Lots of funny and touching complications arise between all the characters as Leslie finds himself attracted to Anita who he thinks is a man and begins to think that he is gay.. A terrific film in every way with three very charming performances and a few good songs thrown in.
