Double Fattiness

About This Movie

Double Fattiness is this quirky little comedy from '88 that dives into the afterlife in a way that's pretty unique. Siu-Fung, played by the charming Lydia Sum, has her spirit stuck after a heart attack. The twist? She inhabits the body of a much younger woman, Maggie Cheung. The film balances a light-hearted tone with some deeper themes about family and identity. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that charming, offbeat vibe. You get some fun practical effects, especially in the spirit transitions. The performances are a mix of over-the-top and heartfelt, managing to create a weird yet engaging atmosphere that sticks with you. Definitely one of those odd gems that you stumble upon.
