Ausgewählte Rezension
An enjoyable, albeit generic, romantic comedy...
I must admit that I was somewhat looking forward to watching this movie, as I found out that it had a rather impressive cast list in the roles. I mean, with the likes of Yun-Fat Chow, Anita Mui, Wah Yuen and Eric Tsang on the cast list, then it would be a sure win that the movie would be great.
"The Greatest Lover" (aka "Gong zi duo qing") is actually a very generic romantic comedy, in terms of storyline and script. Now, don't get me wrong, because the movie was still rather enjoyable and entertaining. It just didn't really offer anything overly outstanding to the genre.
The movie is well-paced and the storyline progresses nicely. In fact, there wasn't really a dull moment throughout the course of the entire movie.
The comedy in "The Greatest Lover" was a bit toned down and hushed, if you will. That was a bit of a shame, because a bit more comedy would have made for a way more enjoyable movie.
This is an archetypical late 1980s romantic comedy that were made by the dozens in the Hong Kong cinema, for better or worse. At least you know what you are getting here, if you are familiar with the Hong Kong cinema.
My rating of "The Greatest Lover" is a six out of ten stars. The movie was by no means the best of movies for Yun-Fat Chow, Anita Mui or Eric Tsang, but still enjoyable enough on its own actually.
