An Excellent Early Chow Movie Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
One of the Better early Chow Sing Chi works, Flirting Scholar tells of the story of Artist Tong Pak Fu, An artist and Scholar so revered, that many scholars and officials would fight over the contents of his Rubbish Bin!

Despite having Wealth, Success, Fame, Talent and Eight Beautiful Wives, Fu is a very Unhappy man, why? his eight wives are all gambling addicts who have no respect for the cultured and intellectual man that he is, and would rather play Dice or Mahjong than spend time with him.

Whenever Fu has a chance to go on a trip, he has the time of his life, anything is better than staying at home with his wives, so when he has a chance to go on an excursion with the other Three Heavenly Scholars (Think the Four Heavenly Kings of Cantopop) he relishes it. On his latest trip, he meets a lovely girl Chou Heung (Gong Li) who is a handmaiden for Local Matriarch Madam Wah (Cheng Pei Pei).

Realising he can't win her heart as a Scholar, he goes undercover as a poor labourer, where he soon finds out that while Chou Heung is uninterested in him, she is a great admirer of the Works of Tong Pak Fu, but when he tells her his identity, she refuses to believe him, but this only makes Fu more desperate to win her heart...

For a Stephen Chow Sing Chi movie of this vintage, this film is incredibly funny and boasts quite lavish sets and costumes, and i would recommend it for those wanting to see the pre-Shaolin Soccer CGI Stephen Chow in action.

 'very Cantonese' Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
Don't particularly find this a very funny film but I like the witty songs and rhymes. Stephen Chow and Gori Li both acted well.

 This one is a classic Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
One of his best works, Stephen Chou keeps people laughing from beginning to end. This movie gives a comical twist to the classic story of Tang Bak Fu and Chau Heung, the main characters in the film, and this movie version becomes a classic in its own right. Highly recommended.

Surprisingly Good Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I watched several other Stephen Chow's movies before this one and I am not particular impressed with his bathroom humor. You really get tired of it after a while. I bought the movie because I am a Gong Li's fan and I have never seen her in a comedy before. But the script really works this time and this movie is surprisingly good. I guess Gong Li can even make Stephen Chow look better in my eyes.

Stephen Chow as Tong Pak Fu Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
It is rare to see Stephen Chow and Gong Li acting together (only this movie and Back to Shanghai I think). After many succesfull roles as a comedian in different movies, this is a new challenge for Chow as one of the four top-grade scholars in SuZhou, Tong Pak Fu. I think Lee Lik Chee is a great director for Chow's movies because she knows the key points to make the film funnier, enjoyable. Besides, with the great acting skills and the charm of Gong Li as Chou Heung character, it makes the movie hilarious but unforgetable ... not to mention the dialogue between Stephen Chow and the "fat scholar" in the movie.

awesome Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
this movie is just as good as SHAOLIN SOCCER. i regret that i did not buy the DVD version of this movie. it was really worth my time. i watched it over 4 times because it was so hilarious. the story was interesting, there was a bit of cool kung fu, some chinese art, comedy, and romance. its the ideal movie for entertainment.
