| Perhaps Clifton Ko and Raymond To are lurking somewhere behind the scenes of this film version of the stage play (it wouldn't be the first time they brought out one such) that also starred Francis Ng but as far as official connections to Ko and To, we only find the screenwriter Szeto Wai-Kin who penned I Will Wait For You.
Naughty Couple sees the age old comedic web of lies at the forefront, involving a lot of characters, most of them horny, some being mistaken as homosexual, all confined to a single setting. Yes, it really is the filmed stage play in a lot of ways and I wish I could say this type of situation comedy has grown on me as I've grown older. Director Clifford Choi thinks it's ok to feature an overabundance of unreasonable characters and lies but not so much of a viewer smirk manifests itself during the wacky proceedings. Also starring Anita Lee, Chan Suk-Yee, Sunny Chan and Lee Fung. |
