Faa ho yuet yuen

This is a fun comedy about an emperor in an ancient kingdom with 12 princes and now is overjoyed at the birth of a daughter. (geesh, his wife must be happy too!) However...she is stricken with a strange affliction-an overpowering horrible body order. (the baby princess is so cute) Well, the emperor tries to find a cure to help this lovely princess, the wonderful Miriam Yeung. = I watched this aboard SINGAPORE AIRLINES (incredible list of films to watch...over 60...many international). I had to catch myself several times for I was laughing out loud over the fun antics. The beginning of the first half of the film is a stunning comedy. It does slow down a bit in the middle, thank goodness, then has a very nice ending, though predictable. due to the absolute fun trip, one is totally forgiving to the predictable ending. = The cast was great...Ms. Yeung was incredible. Perfect timing and just lovely. It seemed the whole cast must of had a blast making this film. The 'bloopers' at the end of the film were not translated, and they would of been enjoyed by those who loved the film. = Lots of silliness, enjoyable and visually beautiful. Costumes and settings were stunning.

A frantic royal family seeks to regain its honor by marrying off its young princess. But finding her a prospective mate who is up to snuff is the least of their worries; finding anyone who can bear to be in the same room with her is downright impossible owing to her unfortunate and mysterious birth defect-- an incomprehensible bodily odor. At their wits' end, the emperor and empress send a proclamation throughout their land to find the man who can cure her and become her husband. Enter an aspiring aromatherapist, Richie Jen (here listed Richie Ren), who is driven by a passion to validate his life's work. But he isn't the only one who has set his sights on the prize-- there's plenty of other palace intrigue going on beneath surface. But, with the aid of a young woman played by Miriam Yeung and her fishmonger friends, Jen(Ren)is determined he can succeed.

Light weight comedy with some moments of downright silliness and beautiful costumes and sets.
