Summary: they're not pizzas...
lydia sum is hsiao feng the owner of a pizza shop, which she runs with her husband, tse shu (bill tung) and son, sonny (eric tsang). an evil property developer wants to buy their shop and house as he plans to turn it into a new commercial centre; hsiao feng isn't selling. whilst out delivering pizzas sonny bumps into diana (maggie cheung) who has just been mugged by gordon chan; sonny soon falls for diana...

things take a twist when hsiao feng dies from a heart attack, but manages to avoid death, posessing the body of someone who's recently been killed; it just so happens that diana has been killed in a bus accident. so, when diana turns up at the pizza shop, she's in love with tse shu, but being pursued by sonny...

it's pretty standard, mildly random, kinda silly, hong kong comedy fare, but it's a pretty good set up and you can't go wrong with four such strong leads. lydia sum is great as the larger than life matriach, bill tung is as dependable as ever and how can you not like eric tsang? as for maggie cheung, she does a good job as diana and a diana who's been possessed by several people throughout the course of the film.

good stuff...
