Lau Ching-Wan has been secretly in love with comely Vivian Chan ever since a childhood math class, so when she needs a paper marriage to satisfy the wishes of her sick mother, he's a pushover. This doesn't sit too well with her naturalist boyfriend, who seems to like cockroaches more than her. And now the omens are against them: the day they've chosen for marriage is the very same one that Lau's strict aunt demands for his mother's funeral. So, the comedy goes back and forth between the two venues, gathering fewer laughs than it should.

(2/4)
