Whatever You Want

1994 · 97 min

A frothy, good-natured wish-fulfilment romp that coasts on charm and star wattage rather than logic.

Overview: Renowned writer/director/actor/producer Wong Jing created this charming fantasy comedy, featuring a top notch cast. The sweet, lovable Anita Yuen Wing-Yee stars as an illegitimate daughter who inadvertently finds a pearl with a genie in it. Michael Wong Man-Tak is the genie who gives her three wishes, which leads to a lot of hilarity and even a little heartbreak.
