foon (stephen chow) is a radio dj, who begins courting holliyok (maggie cheung); a slightly mad girl who is fixated on various hollywood films. moon (raymond chow), one of foon's brothers, is married to ching (sandra ng), but all is not going well and he's having an affair with sheila (sheila chan). foon, moon and ching al live in the same house, along with the decidedly camp so (leslie cheung), who seems to spend all of his time battling with leung (teresa mo). meanwhile, mama (lee heung-kam) and papa (kwan hoi-san) just want to watch tv...

this new year's film is a fairly typical; very silly, yet perfectly entertaining, comedy about troubled relationships. this is the kind of nonsense which i enjoy, but if you're not interested in entertainment which is as light as it is silly, then it's probably not for you. still, for me, it's great to see a stellar cast flexing their hong kong comedy muscles to good effect, producing the desired mix of head scratching and giggles...

good fun...
