It's very rare for the HK movie industry to come up with something flawless nowadays. In fact, there is only one HK movie to date that I would be willing to say is perfect, and this is the one.

Perfect and original. The two words I would use to describe this movie. It's an all time favorite of mine: the only HK classic on my list of classics.

In the 1990's, alot of movies were basically "crap". Then this movie came along and told viewers that there is still an ounce of creativity and talent left in the business. The storyline is original. Instead of the common ganster movies or pathetic slapstick comedies, we get a fresh change on the world of the HK entertainment industry and gender confusion.

The focus is mainly on Anita Yuen's character. Her journey from a nobody to a somebody gives viewers different perspectives about showbiz: how obsessive can fans get, how important fluke is, how showbiz politics can make or break you, etc. Leslie Cheung and Carina Lau give great performances as celebrities who are veterans to the business and nothing excites them anymore, which enhances Anita's innocent facinations with everything as a newcomer, and in turn, their facination with her.

There's plenty of chemistry and spark among the characters, and the jokes will gaurantee some laughs. Aside from proving to viewers that something good can still come out of HK films, it proved another thing: movies don't need to be tragic and confusing in order to win awards or be artistic; this movie was easy to understand, funny, and yet still very tasteful, creative, and artistic.

Rating 10/10
