Dummy Mommy, Without a Baby

2001 · 90 min Comedy
5.9 / 10 · TMDB

Fong (Miriam Yeung) is already at odds with Wu (Edison Chen), one of her bosses at an ad agency, when she makes a major mistake at work that puts her job on the line. To save herself, she feigns pregnancy, which, under Hong Kong law, means she cannot be fired for 10 months. However, while there may be some perks that accompany her "pregnancy," she is eventually forced to concoct increasingly elaborate lies and involve everyone around her in the charade.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its humor on a classic comedic premise, relying on the snowball effect of a single white lie. It explores office dynamics and social expectations through escalating absurdity and playful performances.

What lingers after the credits is the lighthearted chaos of a farce where every solution creates a new problem, delivered with energetic Hong Kong flair. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Joe Ma Wai-Ho
