Anita Mui becomes a fashionable queen of manners in this gender-reversed take on My Fair Lady. This time, Chow Yun-fat plays an illegal immigrant who is sent to image consultant, Anita (Mui), to become a playboy that will steal the hearts of two heiresses (Nina Li and Pauline Wong). In true romantic comedy fashion, Anita ends up getting her heart stolen by her student instead. Chow Yun-fat is the comic highlight of the film with his dramatic transformation from uncultured simpleton to charismatic smooth talker, but Mui's amazing wardrobes and commanding presence over her co-star own this hit comedy.
