Plot summary

Jane, with plain looks but a heart of gold, is always in between jobs. Once she gets a job, her knack for creating awkward situations immediately loses it for her. Ricky is her suitor, but he gets nowhere as the girl has no time for love. So Ricky goes along with her in job hunting. Somehow, Jane lands on a job as governess. Not to a child, but to an uncouth very old, very rich man who still wants to lead the life of his poor, uncivilized youth. His son is now running the old man's millions. He wants to bring up the father the civilized way. And he wants to take over the whole city through take-over deals. He is ruthless and has thrown thousands into the streets.

John Woo once again teams up with Ricky

John Woo once again teams up with Ricky Hui in their perhaps zaniest collabo, and most definitely the most structurally messy one. Hui only gets to play second violin here, giving up the floor to great comedienne Josephine Siao. Plain Jane also features some mild social commentary in the midst of all the wackiness, with Woo carefully expressing his angst over the upcoming handover business.

Viewed on 28/8/04 Be warned. I seriously think

viewed on 28/8/04 Be warned. I seriously think any John Woo movie before A BETTER TOMORROW might as well be forgettable. Look at this one. An underdog comedy with Ricky Hui and Josephine Siao as the leads promises so much fun but even they cannot save a way pathetically stupid script. I must admit I did laugh out loud at some slapstick antics but they come and go very quickly. John Woo cameos as a director looking for job. In his role, he proudly exclaims that all directors must exaggerate. He lives by this motto. Ya, comedies do not necessarily require logic but this one is way too much. It is downright ridiculous and dumb. I did not finish the whole movie. I was in the last chapter but I could not bear it anymore. My time should be spent somewhere else doing better things. Rating: F
