Review
by Kozo:
|
Second in a rash of radio show-themed
films about three guys, their radio show, and their women. Michael
Chow, Edmond Leung, and Simon Lui are the three guys, and Pauline
Suen, Halina Tam, and Amanda Lee are their girls. The plot features
your standard hot-button issues with pop culture references and
sexual politics aplenty. Sadly, the jokes suck, the actors
so-so, the plot predictable, and the script embarrassing.
What else can I say? This is a total zero
bomb piece of garbage. Even the charming level of HK cinema is lost
on this one since it feels more manufactured than a Big Mac from
McDonalds. Michael Chow is not a guarantee of quality, even in “crazy
cop” form. On the plus side, there are many unimportant cameos,
and both Halina Tam and Pauline Suen have winning screen presences.
Still, this movie is contrived as all hell, and every move feels
false. As Feel 100% goes, this one’s more like 10%. (Kozo 1996) |
