This is Jack Neo's tenth movie, and I personally think this is his best yet. Like all of his previous movies, this movie topped the box-office list in Singapore.
This movie stars Fann Wong, and Gurmit Singh (from the famous Phua Chu Kang sitcom), Moses Lim, Selena Tan and many other famous actors in Singapore.
The story goes that Lim Teng Chui (at first played by Gurmit Singh before they changed bodies) hated his boss, Tanya Chew. He didn't believe in bureaucracy, a thing which is very common in Singapore. It caused her boss much trouble because she was accustomed in doing things bureaucratically.
One day, after a heated argument, Lim Teng Zui followed Tanya Chew in a high-speed car chase, which resulted in a 'freak' accident.
When they woke up from coma, they didn't know that they have changed bodies. Only when Gurmit (now plays Tanya Chew) went to the toilet to do his 'business', & when Fann Wong (now Lim Teng Zui) look into the mirror, they found out that they've changed! So to the doctor they went, only to be told that they were only imagining and that it happened because of the trauma to their head.
So what did they do next? Watch this movie to see how they have to adapt in their 'adopted' bodies. It's hilarious! I like this movie not just because of the silly antics by Lim Teng Zui, Tanya Chew and their colleagues, but because of the message of the story that the director wishes to convey. In a country that follow bureaucracy strictly (up to a point in which they believe there's no other way to do things), it takes a jab at this system.
In the movie, Tanya Chew requested for a fan, but the clerk said that she must provide three copies of a written letter requesting for a fan, 1 to the Human resources Dept, 1 to the clerk, and the third copy to the manager. Crazy, huh? But that's the current style in Singapore.
All in all, I think this is a great movie, with numerous jokes to keep the audiences laughing, and one with a good moral lesson.
Don't leave the cinema once the credit is shown, as towards the end of the credit there is a short clip of Tanya Chew & Lim Teng Zui waving to their son, and decide whether they manage to return to their own body or not.
