Bu is immediately attracted to the millionaire C.N., but doesn t think he would be interested in a simple girl from a small village, so to get his attention she pretends to be the girlfriend of a notorious gangster. The entire plot is light and breezy, which had me smiling throughout, however there are a number of moments of genuine laugh out loud hilarity. In keeping with the film s title, Columbia TriStar Home Video has produced a DVD that is absolutely gorgeous. The attractive cinematography is immaculately rendered, appearing ever so crisp and highly defined. Flesh tones are incredibly natural, while the rest of the nicely saturated hues are reproduced without the slightest bit of distortion.
Blacks are very solid and the image provides excellent shadow detail.
Dolby Digital 5.1 channel soundtracks are provided on the DVD in English and the original Cantonese. Both tracks make good use of sound effects within the forward soundstage, although the rear channels are a bit light in that respect. I guess the standard comedy mix transcends language. There are a few instances where the surrounds spring into action, but there isn t enough activity to elevate it out of the comedy mix category. The film s delightful musical score is nicely integrated into all of the discrete channels.
