Summary: Vintage Stephen Chow
The plot's been described, so I'm so just going to throw in with those who liked this movie. I will also echo the praise for Karen Mok. She's one of my favorite actresses and part of the reason is that she constantly challenges herself in the roles she takes on. I have nothing against character actors, but when someone comes around who takes on a wide variety of roles and excels in them all, my admiration soars.

I've watched this at least three times and I'll watch it again. Stephen Chow is not the God of Comedy only because he can make us laugh. If he had chosen to do only drama, I'm convinced he would win award after award and be right up there with the likes of Chow Yun Fat. You can tell he demands the most from himself, and he constantly delivers.
