Summary: Excellent

Unlike the majority of HK comedies (or HK films in general), the sequel to the original (Yuppie Fantasia) is even better than the first! Hilarious film by one of the best in the business (Gordon Chan) who has many times come up with reasonably original concepts…especially within comedy (which is hard to do, especially when you look at people like Stephen Chow who keep repeating the same jokes through out their career).

Lawrence Cheng and Dodo Cheng are hilarious in this!

Well worth seeing!

[4.5/5]

This sequel to the box-office smash hit The Yuppie Fantasiais another light-hearted drama of marital infidelity and assorted complications. PR man Leung Foon patches up his relationship with his estranged wife Ann, and both do their best to be model spouses. But the strain of being super-considerate soon takes its toll, and each's fidelity is soon put to a severe test.
