Having fun with Babies

Da-da Goo-goo... That's what a baby would uttered to everyone when they are starting to learn to speak. However do we actually have a theory of what the baby is trying to get a message to us? Okay.... by watching this movie, Chuit sai hiu B (or Mighty Baby) we will learn a clue or more of cute toddlers.

What made the ball running was a rip-roaring comedy called Chuet sai hiu BRA (or La Brassiere) which is about two lingerie designers who have to come up with an `ultimate' bra. It was one of the few biggest hits in the Hong Kong film industry last year. As we have anticipated a sequel to La Brassiere to come by and here not too long we are presented with Mighty Baby. However this time it deals with another entirely different subject.

This time around, our central characters Johnny (Lau Ching Wan) and Wayne (Louis Koo) are given the task of coming up with a line of `ultimate' baby products. As usual you would have all the comedy and fun from our two `heroes' plus lots of babies to coo at throughout the film.

Besides retaining 3 main casts from La Brassiere that is Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo and Gigi Leung, we have 2 lovely ladies added into this sequel who is Rosamund Kwan and Cecilia Cheung. As for Carina Lau who was the main female lead in La Brassiere, reprising as Samantha but her role this time round is only as a cameo guest appearance. With Carina Lau out of the frame, Gigi Leung who has long been making mild waves both as an actress and singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is given a much more meatier role as she reprises the character, Lena in this sequel. We still get to see the same characters from the first movie coming in and going off as cameos. Look out also for Karena Lam Ka Yan who is making a special appearance too.

By contrast, I would compare that La Brassiere would still be much better then its sequel in terms of jokes, fun and originality. Most of the fun lines and jokes are repetition of the earlier film and thus making Mighty Baby less unique. However with all the cutie babies as well as the special effects in Mighty Baby, it would of course make this film a much higher budget to make than La Brassiere. To sum it up, Mighty Baby is just another see and forget made in HK comedy.

Well we already had a dose of bras and babies so what might we expect next? Human cloning? Let's wait and see.
