He's a Woman, She's A Man (1995) Reviews

Member Rating:

A fan desperately desires to meet her idols in this gender-bending Hong Kong farce. The idols in question are singer Rose and her manager/lover Sam, who copes with his chronic ennui by playing along to Beatles records and dreaming of going to Africa. Wing is the rabid fan. To meet the popular duo, she binds her breasts, disguises herself as male, and heads out to audition during a talent search. The two are taken with the "young man's" abilities and decide to take him on. The trouble begins when Sam begins to feel a strange sexual attraction to Wing. Heretofore, Sam had thought of himself as purely heterosexual, but now he is not so sure. Romantic mayhem ensues until the mystery is finally solved. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Having watched the movie, calling this a romantic comedy could elicit a smirk. It might be best categorized as a light comedy. There were a few funny moments and a few awkward moments. Blockbuster doesn't display a rating, but given that you know who is what ahead of time, the film could easily pass with a PG-13 rating. Since there aren't any subtitle options and the movie opened with no English subtitles, it seemed like Blockbuster was renting a foreign movie without English translation. However, it wasn't until two and a half minutes into the movie that it was obvious that the English subtitles were burned into the film. The subtitles suffered from a moderate level of grammatical and spelling errors. Additionally, lyrics for some of the songs were subtitled only in Chinese. For a movie that was released in 1995, the picture quality was very sharp and clear. The audio is in stereo - maybe. As for extras, there's only a synopsis in Chinese. Lightly recommended.
