Hong Kong (2011)
Starring: Louis Koo, Sandra Ng, Kwan Yue, and Chapman To
Mr and Mrs Incredible is a funny comedy that had me giggling all the way though. The story is based on two married superheroes who retire forcing them to deal with some of life's finer points. From arguments and health issues to acting normal and dealing with small town gossip this couple is plagued by the issues that come with being married for years. From fertility to infidelity the comical bickering and bantering was funny all the way through this movie.
Gazer Warrior and Aroma Woman are an inseparable duo that struggle to conceal their super powers and former identities from their friends during retirement. They are successful, albeit barely, for a good while till trouble comes into their lives again. . . Yes the silliness in the movie matches their superhero names.
All in all the film was kind of silly, kind of funny, and not super unique. Foreign superhero movies interest me because they require quite a bit of imagination; I'm curious what types of situations and superhero powers other cultures can dream up. From that perspective this movie was okay. With that said, if one were to take Mr and Mrs Smith and cross them with the Incredibles, send them back in time about 900 years the result would be Mr and Mrs Incredible. This movie really was an Asian fusion of those two movies. If you youtube the actual trailer it will prove that point in about 30 seconds, though strangely enough the trailer is made with zero percent of the film footage. It was still worth it just for the giggles. Not to mention who doesn't like a superhero movie?
