Movie Review: My Wife is a What???
Summary: 5 Stars
Eun-Jin is a second in command Femme Fatale ganglord that is called "Big Brother" by her men. They also say "Yes, sir" even though she is a woman, but that's by force of habit. The fools. Given that Eun-Jin hands out enough b-slaps and evil eyes (not always in that order) you'd think that her goons would be smart enogh to call her "Big Momma" and replace "Yes, sir" with "Yes Ma'am." That's what I'd do. Even if I were married to her. Especially if I were married to her.
Lucky for me, my wife is not a gangster. At least, not to my knowledge. But, unfortunately for someone else, Eun-Jin has to expedite a shotgun marriage (she'll be holding the shot gun) in order to fulfill the wish of her sister who is dying of cancer. None of her goons have the balls do be the groom, so Eun-Jin enlists the handiwork of a dating service.
Sound facinating? Maybe even funny? It is.
My Wife is a Gangster, must be one of the few movies that elicited more than a few chuckles here and there. A few times I had to put the movie on pause and give myself a half-minute of a good laugh. This is a martial-arts comedy with Eun-Jin providing most of the swift kicks and punches and her clumsy, trying to be cool side-men providing the comedy. It's a brilliant formula.
Eun-Jin eventually finds herself a husband, the circumstances of which are made hilarious by clever direction and freeze-frame moments of love at first sight. Well, maybe not "love", per se. But who cares. The point is, they get married and now Eun-Jin has to hide her other life away from her husband. Actually, that's not the only thing she has to hide. She also must hide the enormous tattoo on her back -- a dead giveaway of who she really is. Consequently, when Eun-Jin's dying sister reveals that she wants to be an Auntie before she checks out, Eun-Jin will have to figure out how to get it on with her husband while keeping her shirt on. However, the movie takes a dramatic turn once Eun-Jin actually learns that she is pregnant. Suddenly, you find yourself a little worried about our lead femme fatale as she kicks and chops her way through her day job.
It's been a long time since I could say that I actually had a lot of fun watching a movie, and even longer since I've watched a comedy that unexpectedly pulls me through a gamut of other emotions. If you have Netflix, add this one to your queue.
