Romantic ghost comedy pairing Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Joey Wong - guess which one plays the ghost...

Unfortunately, this movie is not about Ming dynasty ghosts in flowing robes, but is set in modern day HK, where Little Tony plays a hapless comic strip artist who bumps into Joey playing as usual a ghost in distress. After the initial reluctance, romance blooms, and pretty soon Tony has a string of good fortune that sees him making phenomenal career advancements as well as raise the suspicions of a Taoist neighbor. There's a funny ACGS spoof, and Tony and Joey have nice chemistry, but other than that the comedy is pretty labored and I found very little here to hold my attention. I can barely even remember the details of the plot. Recommended only for die-hard Joey Wong fans.
