As corny as it this may sound, "La Brassiere" is the movie that convinced me to give Hong Kong movies another chance. I gave up on HK movies a few years ago after watching a string of pathetic garbage. So why did I all of a sudden decided to give this particular movie a try? Two words: LOUIS KOO. Why? Because I was also watching the TVB serial "A Step Into The Past" at the time. So thanks to friends' recomendations and the fact that my latest swoon was in it, I saw the movie. And boy, was I ever glad I did!

"La Brassiere" is a (literally) colorful comedy - the sets and clothes are all pastel or neon colored. The story is simple, old fashioned, and predictable - two male chauvinists meet two feminists and learn about respect and love.

The actors and actresses are very familiar to the viewers: a mix of teen idols with adored veterans. Sean Lau is as hilarious as ever. You just know that he's gonna say or do something funny whenever he enters the scene. Louis Koo is fantastic here, not to mention amazingly good looking (sorry, I'm biased...don't forget, I gave this movie a chance totally because of him). LK fans will not be disappointed. By the way, I wonder how many people ran out to by neon-colored shirts and tanning lights after watching him? As for the girls, Carina Lau and Gigi Leung, they look pretty and do a good job, but are clearly shadowed by the guys, since they have most of the jokes.

As for flaws, There are two. Firstly, the pairing of the couples. Like many other HK movies, the story likes to pair everyone together. Chemistry exists in the Louis-Gigi pair (who can forget that romantic "hug"), but not in the Sean-Carina pair. Obviously, they are placed together because the storyline says so. Separately, they're great, but once they cross the romantic line, the pair goes downhill whenever they share a scene. The second flaw is (interestingly) the most talked about part of the movie: the one-continuous-take-with-the-guys-trying-on-bras scene. So then why is it flawed if its practically the best part? Because of all the laughing by Gigi and the crew members behind the scenes. Its great to capture the reactions of Louis and Sean with their natural laughing and all, but why the heck are there other laughs in the background? And Gigi can't even say her lines properly.

Overall, a must-see comedy, probably the best in a long time. Even if you don't like comedies or any of the actors/actresses, you won't be disappointed. Or, even watching it for Louis Koo is good enough even if you're not a fan.

Rating:10/10 (for Louis Koo alone is also 10/10)
