YesAsia Editorial Description

At 1994's Hong Kong Film Awards, Anita Yuen took home the Best Actress statuette for He's A Woman She's A Man. In the same year, she also made Whatever You Want, a hilarious comedy that brings the viewers into the world of fantasy. Directed by Wong Jing, the film features Michael Wong as a wacky god, Jordan Chan (Initial D), and Christy Chung (Jan Dara). Parodies of famous films offer more amusing scenarios on top of those created by the incapable god and our clumsy young protagonist.

Timid girl Ping (Anita Yuen) changes job frequently as she is always being bullied at work. Her father finds her a position in his own advertising firm, but he forbids her from revealing her real identity to her colleagues, especially to her half-sister (Christy Chung) who is a manager in the company. Ping is assigned to find fake pearls as props for shooting TV commercials, but she accidentally calls out the sloppy "Pearl God" (Michael Wong) from one of her pearls. Her adventure may be regarded as the comedic Chinese version of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp!

Renowned writer/director/actor/producer Wong Jing created this charming fantasy comedy, featuring a top notch cast. The sweet, lovable Anita Yuan Yung-yi (who became an overnight sensation in He's A Woman, She's A Man) stars as an illegitimate daughter who inadvertently finds a pearl with a genie in it. Michael Wong (The Final Option) is the genie who gives her three wishes, which leads to a lot of hilarity and even a little heartbreak.

Wong Jing keeps the laughs coming Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
"Whatever You Want" is the kind of movie in which the jokes come at you in a very silly torrent and, while many of them fall flat (or escape the viewer not intimately familiar with Hong Kong culture), the number of jokes that work is more than enough to keep you in stitches. Anita Yuen shines as Ping, the daughter of the neglected eighth wife of a Hong Kong tycoon. Ping hops from job to job, always being bullied by her colleagues. Finally, her father hires her to work for his advertising company, now run by his favored daughter, Pearl (Christy Chung), but Ping is forbidden to reveal the family connection. Asked to find pearls for use in an ad, Ping finds magic pearls, out of which emerges a hunky genie (Michael Wong). Romantic complications -- and lots of laughs -- ensue.

"Anything You Want" is bolstered with hilarious references to other movies (often featuring the terminally-goofy Law Kar-Ying) and a consistently funny supporting role by Jordan Chan as Ping's exceedingly horny, but unhygienic, work-mate. Amidst all the craziness, this movie belongs to Anita Yuen, whose spunky performance raises "Anything You Want" to another level. Perhaps director Wong Jing should cast her in all his movies. "Anything You Want" definitely is worth a look.

This movie is hilarious! It was a hit when it first came out in the cinema. All my friends loved it and recommended to me. Michael was funny, Anita was cute. Both of them really made a great team in this movie. Too bad now it's not being published anymore...
