4.0 out of 5 stars Eye candy, March 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Crazy Love (DVD)

I got this film on the recommendation of some of my Chinese roommates who suggested that it would be a fun learning tool for helping me learn Mandarin. They were right! It's a story of a lady who has trouble finding love and, when she finally finds it, lets it rapidly get away from her. It's a funny and playful film to watch and the main actress, Loletta Lee, is absolute eye candy! The DVD has it's audio in Mandarin and Cantonese, but includes English subtitles that sometimes, unfortunately, fall well short of being intelligible English. However, this doesn't inhibit understanding the film. It's a good DVD to pop in when you are looking for some simple laughs and beautiful women.

3.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly funny for a soft-core film., December 16, 2004

This review is from: Crazy Love (DVD)

There are two genres in Hong Kong film that tend to be shaky: Straight dramas (Hu Du Men being a notable exception), and any film having to do with sexuality and romance. The uptightness of Chinese culture tends to hinder Hong Kong films' ability to examine sexual issues and erotica, and Hong Kong's romantic and erotic films tend to be self-conscious and often uninteresting.

Crazy Love attempts to mix soft-core sex with broad situation comedy, and the surprise is that it actually works all right, for the most part. Leading lady Loletta Lee isn't that great an actress, but this film wisely stays away from complex drama and instead uses Lee's virginal looks and fresh-faced charm. The character of Jane is actually a pretty interesting one -- part Brigitte Bardot imitator (in her mischievous exhibitionist tendencies) and part Loki-like troublemaker. She likes to make trouble for men who ogle her, and the resulting shenanigans are unsubtle, but often funny, if a bit broad and unsophisticated in that Hong Kong way. And the addition of the sexually liberated hippie character is actually quite advanced for a Hong Kong film -- there is enough charm in the character to prevent him from being a complete cliche. The erotic scenes are mostly tame and self-consciously shot, with generic shots and music thrown in for the measure, but there is one genuinely erotic scene where Lee touches herself -- is it coincidence that it's also the one erotic scene here where she keeps most of her clothes on?

The usual cheesy touches do pollute this film. Most Hong Kong films have a laughable tendency to use oversaturated '80s synth scores in sentimental moments, and this film's "in love" middle part suffers from heavy-handedness. Otherwise, however, it's a relatively enjoyable film that's better for its comedic touches rather than its erotica.

Well if you are into nudity then this is a great movie for you. It has many love seens to keep you interested. I have let other friends borrow this and they have all agreed that it was a good movie.
