Review of Love is a Many Stupid Thing (2004) by Melissa A — 08 Apr 2010

Three officers are hired to go undercover in order to bring a triad boss named Lobster, to justice. The guys get involved in a number of shenanigans along the way and lose track of the mission at hand when they fall for three policewomen who happen to be working for the enemy.

This comedy from Hong Kong reminded me a bit of the antics of the characters in Police Academy, Naked Gun series and even The Three Stooges but with some extra perverse and off-the-wall humour. A lot of the scenes were outrageous and unexpected, especially when the officers decided to dress up in drag and pose as Thai masseuses and the wacky date to remember with the three female officers and their father! This movie was completely and utterly ridiculous in just about every way. Director Wong Jing is known for "nonsense" humour, and that's definitely a good way of pegging it. The jokes were bad, the acting was even worse and as far as a story goes, it was all over the place. If you want something with substance, this is not the movie to see, but if you are looking for simply a few laughs, check it out.
