Sometimes love stinks..

"This was a cute film made no less precious by the addition of Richie Jen as a handsome gardner and Miriam Yeung as the princess with a problem-a peculiar affliction- she stinks. Yes there are the inevitable jokes about bad body odor, and some slapstick comedy revolving around the princess' suitors and a few inevitable fart jokes, but overall this comedy was quite fun and light-hearted. The perfect antidote to the insipid and insincere hollywood films.



If you enjoy Chinese romantic comedy, this is a fun, light-hearted romp sure to amuse you."

The plot stinks

"If you like romantic comedies, this one is fun. At times it's a bit over the top silly, but before long, after all of your giggle muscles have been warmed up, you'll start laughing at everything. Richie Ren is a passionate horticulturist with a gifted nose, who dreams of finding a cure for the stinky princess, and Miriam Yeung is a spunky girl who works as a fishmonger in order to disguise her own stinkiness. Guys who don't enjoy romantic comedies might enjoy this one: yes, it stinks that much!"
