The Fruit is Swelling
Director: Cash Chin Man-kei
Year: 1997
Rating: 5.5
A category III version
of the film Big in which Peach, an eight year old girl, makes a wish at the
Sacred Tree to become an adult faster. She (Jane Chung) has noticed her
older sister is having much more fun than she does. When she wakes up the
next morning, she quickly discovers (as do we) that she has developed a lovely
woman’s body overnight. There is not a particularly complicated plot here
– it mainly tries to create situations to show Peach and other attractive
females naked on occasion. Slightly amusing, but not particularly clever
or original.
Now one of the few people not to undress in this is Hsu Chi who appears
only for a narrative minute at the beginning and a concluding minute at the
end. A bit disappointing even though she is clad in a bikini rolling around
in the surf! This is basic mind candy for men. Of which I am still
one!
