Let's Have a Baby

The Shaw Bros and Yuen Chor, a golden combination. In the 70s they brought the pinnacle of fantasy martial arts cinema, ten years later their reputation was in free fall. Chor doing a typical 80s Hong Kong comedy is a great example of how desperate they were. While not the worst in the genre, it's hardly a standout film.

When a neighbor drops off his kids, a young childless couple spends one of the best days of their lives with them. When the kids are gone, they decide to have some of their own, but after a few tries and no success, complications arise. One of them proves to be infertile, so they try artificial insemination.

It's one of those comedies based on unlucky coincidences and misunderstandings. The comedy is very traditional, though it gets a bit more exciting in the second half of the film. There are some decent giggles and laughs throughout, but most of it is very basic and predictable. Decent comedy filler, but hardly one of Chor's better films.
