Michael Hui starred and directed in this romantic comedy where he's a hapless musician who just happened to witness a gang killing, and in order to save his skin, disguises himself as a woman named Dong Dong in an all-girl band. He thus meets and becomes smitten with the lead singer Ding Ding (played by Cherie Cheung), and the film plays out as a series of gags and deft escapes as he tries to woo Ding Ding, avoid the attentions of a suitor who lusts after Dong Dong, as well as evade the gangsters who are out to get him.

Alas, upon first viewing, the gags really hit home. Upon a second viewing they just didn't seem all that hilarious. I suppose when I was a kid the absurdity of a guy pretending to be a girl seemed a funny gimmick, but it sort of falls flat now that I'm older. Nonetheless, back in the mid 1980s, Cherie Cheung was very pretty and cute, and especially sultry when she appears in a low cut white dress with one strap falling off her right shoulder.

It's still a charming little flick, and might be worth your dollars if you don't mind a slightly silly type of romantic comedy.
