a Lingerie is simply a romantic-comedy done right. Yes there’s cheeseball moments, the characters can get excessively superficial and the film itself screams out blatant commercialism, but on the flip-side you have four bright actresses that are incredibly delightful and male actors that run the gamut from model-esque to pure dweebiness. With this you also have the running theme of “lingerie” and what it means to women, but fear not if you cringe at the thought of a philosophical Hong Kong commercial film. The lingerie theme is simply a prop to show Hong Kong city life filtered through a “Sex and the City” like viewpoint. However scary that sounds the guys and gals in La Lingerie will win you over by its conclusion.+
The four girls in “La Lingerie” are Miu (Stephy Tang), Donut (Janice Man), CC (J.J. Jia), and Celine (Yee Tong). The girls are connected by their patronage of a hip Hong Kong lingerie shop.
Miu’s spinster aunt recently passes away and leaves Miu with her fully furnished apartment. She moves in with best friend Donut. These two friends are surprised to find the deceased aunt was an avid collector of lingerie.
