Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner
[The] use of bold colors and snappy pace keep things moving, and a few solid belly-laughs help.

This Honk Kong comedy with Louis Koo and Lau Ching Wan will make you laugh to your limits... They play two men who are hired as bra designers and their job is to design "The Ultimate Bra". The problem is that they are experienced only in designing men's briefs! But that won't stop them to start working on the new design in a pastel coloured sanctuary and embodiment of male fantasy... no wonder that Lau Ching Wan's character kept repeating "So good". It's not a smooth run, though... they develop office relationships with Lena (Gigi Leung), who refuses to accept that men could possibly be of any use in designing bras... and she challenges them to try on bras themselves that they could fully understand what women feel! If you want to see a sexy movie which has top quality production, camera work and art direction while spreading colourful and breezy atmosphere check this one. Sometimes you could notice underdeveloped characters have that feeling of "something is missing" but that won't stop you laughing! P.S. If you like it, check he sequel Mighty Baby (2002).

Very good movie. The acting was awesome. The ending is good and warm, which made me smile, and almost weep.
