Synopsis

In the whimsical comedy-fantasy Double Fattiness, released in 1988, the charmingly chaotic world of Siu-Fung, a devoted pizzeria owner portrayed by Lydia Sum, takes a surreal twist when a heart attack unexpectedly claims her life. However, Siu-Fung's journey doesn’t end with her passing; her spirit is left in limbo, unable to cross over to the afterlife. In a bizarre turn of events, she resurrects in the body of a striking young woman played by Maggie Cheung. This peculiar second chance at life allows Siu-Fung to reconnect with her family, as she comically struggles to convince them that she is indeed their beloved matriarch, even while trapped in a youthful form.

As the plot unfolds, the stakes rise when a mysterious woman who resembles Siu-Fung appears, leading to a tangled web of mistaken identities and comedic misunderstandings. Her husband, played by Bill Tung, is none the wiser and believes that this doppelgänger is his long-lost wife. The film cleverly explores themes of identity, family bonds, and the humorous absurdities of life and death. With its lighthearted moments and engaging character dynamics, Double Fattiness serves not only as an entertaining romp through the afterlife's quirks but also as a touching reminder of the importance of love and connection, making it a delightful watch for fans of offbeat comedies.
