Taking a close look for the most obscure in the bundle of Shaw Bro titles about to leave Netflix UK, I was excited to find that one of them was Maggie Cheung's first credit,leading to me meeting prince charming.

View on the film:

Looking as cute as a button, Maggie Cheung gives a sparkling debut performance as Kitty, thanks to Cheung clawing into each one-liner with a breezy, flirty delivery,whilst Cherie Chung hits the meet-cute Rom-Com notes perfectly with her crisp, funny turn as May.

Crowning his prince charming into romantic escapades, the screenplay by writer/director Jing Wong serves up a mix of the sweet with the gross-out, via easy-going, lightly comedic exchanges between Li and May as a romance blossoms, which gets jammed with odd set-pieces,which include Li being super glued to a toilet seat by cheeky Kitty.

Leaving Hawaii behind to romance in Hong Kong, director Wong unwraps a Rom Com atmosphere across the screen with glossy, fluid dolly and panning shots catching Li chatting up the ladies, which springs out to funny wacky-music backed close-ups on the gross out big punchlines,as the prince loses his charm.
