Plot:

Simply Actors stars popular Hong Kong funnyman Jim Chim Sui-Man, who's probably best known overseas for his pronounced overacting in everything from Driving Miss Wealthy to The Twins Effect II to Mighty Baby. Chim is famous in Hong Kong for his one-man stage performances, where he manages to entertain the masses in that inimitable Cantonese way that non-Hong Kong people may never truly understand. His initial appearances in Hong Kong film were usually more annoying than anything else, a problem that was exacerbated by the sheer amount of projects he took on. However, after the initial rough going, Chim has since become a familiar and even welcome screen presence, with his work in AV and McDull, The Alumni qualifying as highlights. Simply Actors is the first time audiences have been given a full-on Chim starring role, and the actor is apparently quite game.

Unfortunately, he's also misguided. From minute one, Chim puts on an overacting clinic that's one for the ages. When he first meet Chan Man-Long (Chim), he's a wacky policeman who puts on a pretend panda show for an adorable tyke visiting the police station. The scene drags on for too long before duty finally calls, and Man-Long races to the crime scene along with his fellow cops. However, Man-Long's appearance on the scene involves wearing crappy hip cop duds, and pretending to act in slow motion like some sort of supercool movie cop. Obviously, the other cops won't stand for his innane antics, but his chief (Hui Siu-Hung) has a fine idea: enroll Man-Long in acting classes. Apparently, an undercover cop named Yan (shades of Infernal Affairs) has been offed by a mob boss called Crazy Sam (Chapman To, doing a blazingly annoying impression of Eric Tsang), who left the message "crap acting" on the dead body. The cops think they may need to send their cops to acting school to avoid future detection, and plan to use Man-Long as a test case.
