Take Me
Lets get right to the bottom line regarding this
film or perhaps more appropriately the bare bottom! This slight Cat III
comedy starring Veronica Yip is not much more than an excuse for a number
of attractive females to get out of their clothing as quickly and as often
as they can. If there was a deep message hidden in there I think I missed
it.
Watching this Veronica Yip vehicle it is nearly
impossible to see the same actress who was so impressive just within a
few years in mainstream films such as Roof with a View, Scarred Memory
and 1941 HK on Fire. Of course there was not exactly a lot of opportunity
to show any acting ability when the script continues to make you show other
parts of your repertoire!
Veronica gets married and on her wedding night
the husband is too exhausted to fulfill his husbandly duties so Veronica
goes from nurse to cheerleader to traffic cop in order to get him excited.
All too much so – as he keels over and dies from a heart attack – but his
ghost decides to stick around and look after his wife. He constantly urges
her to find another man to take care of her, but Veronica is reluctant.
Her friend throws a party at Veronica’s house that turns into your typical
orgy with couples in the closet, shower, kitchen – all the usual places!
Veronica doesn’t participate though and her friend advises her that she
has to get an active sex life going – “we are concave and men are convex
so it is only natural”. Or was it the other way around? Anyway Veronica
takes her advice and finds a boyfriend, but he disappears into the sea
– and then she is tied naked by robbers to a painter. Some guys have all
the luck!
So they become lovers, but the boyfriend reappears
– and then it turns out that her ghost husband is actually kind of jealous
– and so forth. Why I bother with any plot details I don’t know. Again
the bare bottom is that there is lots of nudity and Veronica looks . .
. . good . . . very good. In fact better than good.
My rating for this film: 5.5
