Summary: Juicy Fruits
Comment: "Fruit is Swelling" is a sweet, funny and sometimes sexy Category III flick, with an odd twist on the "child in an adult's body" theme seen so many times in films like Big, Freaky Friday, 13 Going On 30, etc....
The story is pretty typical: a young 8-year old girl named Peach makes a wish and finds herself in an 18-year old body. She heads out to discover the mysteries of the adult world, and stumbles unknowingly into a realm of sex, lies and wacky hijinks. Inside she remains a wide-eyed innocent, a bit shocked by what she finds.
Because this is a Category III film, if a good-looking girl appears on screen, she is bound to get naked at some point, but most of this is played for laughs and the sex, all of it clearly simulated, is more often silly than erotic. Peach's father in particular has a few romps that are hilarious. I don't think this is anyone's idea of a lonely-night date, more like a romantic comedy with a sexy twist, the kind of thing you could watch with your girlfriend and chuckle over together.
The girl playing Peach, Chun Chung, is gorgeous in her wide-eyed innocence, and definitely makes the film. The legendary Qi Shu pops up at the beginning and the end, delivering a little speech on the moral of the tale, almost like an old after-school special, except she does it in a bikini. Good times.
The DVD has several subtitles, including English, Chinese and Japanese, which makes for easy viewing.

Summary: Poor Title for a Great Movie
Comment: First let me begin by saying that I almost didn't get this movie
because of the title. The movie is much better than the title suggests. The actress who played the youg girl at 18 was a real
cutie. The one thing you need to watch is her facial expressions
in various situations, they are priceless. I spent a week in Hong Kong but I never met a girl who looked like that, although I met some really pretty ladies. Don't let the inane title keep
you away from this film, as it is really good. It would probably
get an NC-17 rating, although it is not explicit. It is a softcore romp with good prodution values. It is a comedy and is funny. I really enjoyed this film and am glad I finally ordered it. Charlie Spivey

Summary: Like Big, But With a Twist
Comment: Peach is a young girl of eight who makes a wish on a wishing tree. She wants to be older. Then she wakes up as an eighteen-year-old. Her friend Fatty-Girl undergoes a similar transformation. Only Peach's older sister Lychee knows the truth.
Peach and Fatty now can observe the adult world in all of its guises be they good or bad. Peach discovers that while she is not ready for a physical relationship, she has developed a romantic attachment. But the world of adults is not a bed of roses and Peach's innocence is tested as she witnesses lies, infidelity and lust wherever she goes. It seems that no adult is truthful. The ending series of twists helps to elevate the story above the more superficial BIG.
Lots of nudity and simulated sex makes this far less of a family picture than its American counterpart but I feel it has the better message to deliver and the more truthful ending. I was surprised that Peach was never shocked by her father carrying on with any woman he could get near but she may have already been immune to that behavior. Peach does a good job of remaining a child while in a woman's body. Very good film but not for the prudish.

Summary: What a Peach...
Comment: I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised with this film. Though a fantasy, it was funny, entertaining and causes one to consider the line, "Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it!" Be mindful, this is not a movie for kids! It deserves it's NC-17 rating, but it's not smutty or exploitative either. My copy (under $10.00US, new) was a bargain. See for yourself! I actually enjoyed this one! Four stars!
