Reception
Comparing the film to La Brassiere, an earlier creative collaboration by the creative team Hing-Ka Chan, Patrick Leung, and Amy Chin, Variety wrote that Good Times, Bed Times was "less vaudevillian in its humor, but with a stronger pair of distaff thesps this time round", as "the joke comes from casting matinee idol Koo as a sexual non-achiever and Lau, not a prototype romantic lead, as an incurable lothario".[1]
Variety reported that the film "grossed a sturdy HK$20 million ($2.5 million)" from its summer 2003 Hong Kong theatrical release.[1]
The film was initially banned in Malaysia, then reworked and released there under the title In Love With You.[2][3]
