YesAsia Editorial Description

Shaw Brothers director Chor Yuen helms the eighties laffer Diary of a Big Man, starring the one and only Chow Yun Fat in a riotous comic role! Chow is Chow Ting Fat, a busy businessman who loves two women equally...so he marries them both! Wife one is Joey Wang, a boutique owner who thinks her husband is traveling abroad to the European stock market. Wife two is Sally Yeh, a stewardess who thinks her husband is traveling abroad to the American stock market. And Chow Ting Fat is one seriously stressed out, harried individual who has to juggle two wives AND a career at the same time! He seems to be doing okay...until the two women meet and set up a dinner party to meet the other's spouse! How is Chow Ting Fat going to get out of this one?

Wacky wordplay, dexterous physical comedy and engaging performances help Diary of a Big Man along, but it's Chow Yun Fat's dizzy comic acting that turns heads here! The big man is a comic revelation as he manages to take the somewhat sordid subject of bigamy and make it both harmless and hilarious! Co-starring Waise Lee, Carrie Ng and Kent Cheng, Diary of a Big Man is breezy eighties Hong Kong comedy at its most fun.

Very Nice? Oh, Very Nice! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
Diary of a Big Man is Screwball and situational comedy at it's funniest! Chow Yun-Fat plays Chow Ting Fat, a Kind Hearted stockbroker who finds himself awash in the Rain one night in his broken Convertible. while searching for a ride home, he meets first Joey (a Boutique owner played by Joey Wong) and a short time later, Sally (a flight Attendant, played by, you guessed it, Sally Yeh) and proceeds to date them both later on, and accidentally inds himself engaged to both of them! Being the nice guy he is, Chow can't break either girl's heart, so he marries both of them, and through enlisting the help of his loyal friend Chi Hung (Waise Lee chi Hung) he proceeds to live a double life as a Bigamist, without letting his wives know his secret, which as you can expect, leads into many comedic situations.

This film is a great laugh fest, with many Hilarious scenes, including one where Chow Yun Fat breaks into song! (His voice isn't anything special, but the MV is an extra on the DVD) as well as some very funny performances, such as Chow acting as Dr. Slump in order to impress a supposedly Drunk Joey, or even Chow trying a few of Cheung Kwok Wing's Mo Sum Sui Min Dance Moves, not to mention a fantastic cameo by Why Me? star Kent Cheng as a police officer intent on exposing Chow's secret.

Diary of a Big Man is a Truly funny film, and a great companion piece to Eighth Happiness, CYF fans should watch the film carefully, and make note on two special lines, one of which where Chow Ting Fat is listening to the Golden needle Awards on the Radio, and another between Chi Hung and Chow when they are climbing out a hotel window.

PS. The English subtitles of this movie may not display on some DVD Players, if this is the case, try watching the movie on a Computer or a Console that plays DVDs, such as a PS2.

A hilarious yet smart Comedy. Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
Although the main story line is simple, the different events and predicaments that the main characters get into bring a lot of tummy-aching laughter. A must see for ChowYunFat fans. In addition, the female characters portrayed by Sally Yeh and Wong Joey are very beatiful.
