About How to Pick Girls Up!
Three love-challenged men meet a radio host who tutors them in the art of picking up women in a variety of unconventional ways in Wong Jing's gleefully crude and tasteless comedy.
Directed by Wong Jing, How to Pick Girls Up! leans on a strong ensemble — Maggie Cheung, Elizabeth Lee Mei-Fung, Chingmy Yau Suk-Ching — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1988.
