Crackers comedy from a top director

Warning: Spoilers
PLAIN JANE TO THE RESCUE is a fun, anything-goes style slapstick comedy from Hong Kong. To describe it on the page would be to do it a disservice, because it really does need to be seen to be believed. John Woo - better known for his later work as action director - brings his trademark energy to the production, with lots of bizarre sketches and the like throughout, and he even has an endearing cameo as himself! Josephine Siao joins the pantheon of Hong Kong actresses willing to play plain and goofy for laughs (think Carol Do Do Cheng in HER FATAL WAYS) and she's ably supported by the likes of Ricky Hui as her love interest and Charlie Cho as a calculating business boss.
