Slimming Men and Women is a comedy directed by Du Qifeng and starring Andy Lau, Sammi Cheng and Rikiya Kurokawa. The film tells the story that MiniMo became a 260-pound fat woman because of her lovelorn love. After getting acquainted with the fat man who was in the same boat, they went from acquaintance to acquaintance.
Slimming Men and Women is ingenious, portraying Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng as super fat girls. Instead of using computer stunts, Du Qifeng invited Hollywood makeup artist Steve to make special plastic models of fat people for Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng, and the effect was realistic. In the movie "Slimming Men and Women", Andy Lau made a 45-day crash slimming plan for Sammi Cheng, and the process of slimming in purgatory produced many jokes.
There are two main selling points of the film "Slimming Men and Women". One is the cooperation between Andy and Sammi Cheng again, and the other is that handsome men and beautiful women have become super "fat" and "fat girls", which can be described as their persistence in art, but in spite of this, their acting skills have been fully exerted, which is a breakthrough in shaping their own types. This film is slightly different from Du Qifeng's other works. Do not deliberately pursue artistic atmosphere, nor indulge in the commercial field. It still follows the usual cautious style, but it is really a good film with light humor.
